Hey I was wondering if anyone could suggest a file sharing program (aka kazaa,fast track,etc) for linux? (plz include the link to the site)
Do not, under ANY circumstances, install kazaa on ANY system. It is a massive security hole and guarantees that your system can and will be hacked. It's not as bad on Linux, but it's still horrible. Firewalling it out can be a nightmare as well.
The authors of kazaa should be taken out and beaten senseless. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Daddy, why doesn't this magnet pick up this floppy disk?" - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

i was told you can turn off the port that kazaa uses. i share internet access with roommates. i use linux
and never bothered with any file sharing. my other roommates use windows and one just introduced
the other to kazaa. after a night of sucking all our bandwidth i considered trying to turn off kazaa (i'm
kind of the house sys-admin). i use my computer for work, so in addition to all of the other normal
reasons, i really don't want my system to get hacked. so i have two questions...
1) is my system at risk as well if they use kazaa? and...
2) can anyone tell me how to block access to kazaa?
thanks,
alex.
