[NTLUG:Discuss] Anyone runs ftp, mail server, httpd and get catched from @home

[MadHat]

As of today they hit my box at least every 2 days looking for nntp 
servers.  I would not put my money on them _NOT_ looking for other daemons 
in the future.  While they may not do it on a regular basis, I have been 
hit by their authorized-scan1.security.home.net machine.  I have been hit 
looking for daemons other than nntp, but not on a regular basis.

I am not saying if you break the rules, you will be caught, but don't be 
surprised if you do.
