It appears that I never had this problem because I either was running 
Windows or  always had an external firewall.

In this regard, I think Red Hat is actually doing us a big favor.  An 
external firewall is a must if you use a broadband connection.  With 
Windows, you probably will never receive the warning until it is too late.

However, this also illustrates the potential peril of trying to enlist 
your friends in the fight against Microsoft monopoly.  I don't think 
anyone would like this message when logging out from Red Hat: "Your 
computer is being controlled by a server . . ."
