Steps 2 and 3 aren't even necessary if you're good at forging email. Just send a properly forged message claiming to be either the admin or technical contact for the domain being modified, and NetSlo will make it so. If you care about your domains, you should switch to using either crypt-pw or PGP. I'd heard their PGP system was often broken, so I've been using crypt-pw for nearly a year. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewisat_private*| Spammers will be winnuked or System Administrator | nestea'd...whatever it takes Atlantic Net | to get the job done. _________http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key__________
