Got an NT 4.0 machine and if you stick a "red hat rescue.img" floppy in the floppy slot you get an instant blue screen. This does not appear to have been mentioned in bugtraq archives and could become a most devastating exploit opportunity, by messing up the file system just enough ... That's why all this "anti-virus" software is around, right? Because of the unpatched buffer overflows and so forth in the microsoft file system reading code? Never mind, I guess "reading a suspicious floppy disk is inherently unsafe" is common knowledge. ______________________________________________________________________ David Nicol 816.235.1187 UMKC Network Operations davidat_private "I go to bakeries all day long." -- JR
