You are aware that someone knowing your MAC address outside your local network is fairly useless right? I just find it funny how people tend to mask MAC/IP/host/domain names. If your system is not secure, and is on the internet, people on this list(and those scanning the archives etc) are the least of your worries. for reference, my IP addresses are DSL Line(retiring after 8 years, ISP says they are changing my IPs after they got bought out for the 3rd time since I've been with them): 216.39.174.24, 216.39.174.25, 216.39.174.26, 216.39.174.27, Personal co-location (just moved my services from DSL to here in the past couple hours): 209.90.228.138, 209.90.228.139, 209.90.228.140, 209.90.228.141 and my cable modem IP is 24.16.137.131 MAC addresses: (OpenBSD firewall protecting my Cable and DSL lines) 00:03:47:08:a9:fe 00:03:47:08:a9:ff 00:02:b3:be:82:cc 00:02:b3:be:82:cd 00:02:b3:be:86:f4 00:02:b3:be:86:f5 MACs for servers on my DSL 00:0F:1F:72:15:3F 00:04:23:C0:09:BC 00:04:23:C0:09:BD 00:0C:29:13:58:14 (Same MACs on the migrated systems at co-location, they are virtual machines) nate _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
