This may be a security loophole, since we at CDF can also access our area via any of the other nodes (i.e., fnpc103). If a hacker gets access to one of the nodes... Would people (FCC, D0, theory, etc) object to disabling the following protocols on the prototype farm or is this not such a big security risk since the farm nodes can only be accessed from on-site computers anyway? telnet gopher imap talk ntalk Cheers, Antonio
