It's often in the Received headers of email messages for example. We're going through this with the whole mirror security thing. The only thing we can't prevent is a mirror getting to see the IP address of the client that is connecting to it (without the client using something like Tor). -Matt _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
