I do some admin stuff at GMU, and while one of the other admin's here was running it against our subnet we encountered a crash. We've got a Paragon, and on the heavy scan it crashed during the test. We havn't isolated why yet, but suspect that it was becasue it was being hammered quite fast. This was after the "light & med" tests hasd passed. That machine is fairly tight, so it wasn't a matter of there being alot of ports open or anything... Anyway it didn't happen again, and we really ~obviously~ arn't looking to replicate it, particlularly on this machine, but I'd be interested to hear of any similar stuff from other folks. -tfs ________________________________________________________________ tfs@vampire.science.gmu.edu (NeXTmail, MIME) Tim Scanlon George Mason University (PGP key avail.)
