(OT) Help my friend....
Hi all... I've got a friend in Holland that has a problem. Here's what he wrote: ------------------------- Got sometimes some lousy virus distributors, hackers or crackers on my PC. But I got scanners and firewalls. That ain't the problem. I can trace them (finding their IP addresses.) Can trace their provider too. However, here it stops for me. Do you know some program enabling me to find their email addresses? Reporting to the abuse webmaster ain't helping me. since I got the feeling that they're doing nothing at all. ----------------------------- He is running W$. I don't know what to tell him to do. Can someone give me (and him) an idea? TIA! -- Jim Hatridge Proud Linux User #88484 Owner -- beowulf-newbie list I didn't vote for his daddy either!

Give him a boxed set of SuSe 7.1

With all that information you should be able to write a much harder message to the sysadmin (obviously always be polite to begin with), but insist on action (and threaten that you are going to forward the logs to the authorities too...) if you can get the number of the ISP's you can always give them a call. In my experience some ISP's fanatically go after any abuse like this, although there maybe some that do not... Matt On Fri, 16 Feb 2001, James (Jim) Hatridge wrote:
