We had a domain hijacked a month or two ago (someone changed the contacts and the DNS servers), and they just forged the email headers as coming from the old technical contact. That contact had CRYPT-PW authentication setup, but NetSol processed the change anyway with just the mail From: header matching. It then took them over 24 hours from when we notified them to fix it (even though they reload the zone files twice daily). However, since AFAIK there is no way to move a domain from one registrar to another (without letting it expire and risking losing it), they still have en effective monopoly on all existing domain names that are registered with them. -- Chris Adams <cmadamsat_private> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Information Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
