If you "cron" or "at" a program on a       remote machine via ssh, then log out, so that it tries to connect back to       your desktop sometime(s) later, that is "solicited", but your desktop's       firewall (if set up correctly) won't look at it as such until you tell it.              lacos              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
