>I don't believe that is any of your business. Where someone telnets to, >who they send mail to, etc., should not be logged. Your plan sounds >an awful lot like "Big Brother" to me. The phone company records every phone call you make. No one looks at it until either you feel the bill is wrong and request a detailed bill or the police feel there is a need to look at who you have been calling (assuming you are a drug dealer or blackmailer). You may feel that the phone company is invading your privacy, but fortunately the justice system as well as society does not. The same is true with recording outgoing Telnet sessions. No one could care less where you are telneting to, and the logs are usally so large that *no* sysadmin reads them. They are there for cases of hacking. Hank Nussbacher Bar-Ilan University Israel
