Ho'ala and Scott,

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am definitely interested in teh training lab
as I am a windows network engineer and we all know how insecure that can be.
I am looking to set up an intrusion detection system with Linux RH8 and
Snort among other programs. I am looking into what it would take.

On the radio show front there are two possible slots upcoming. I want to do
a show completely about open source so we can get the word out about what a
great community this is. I want to discuss what open source is, the history
and where it is now and how people can get involved on a learning level and
on a donation scale. I would also like to go into hacking (in the real sense
of the word and not what it is percieved to be), and what it entails both
good and bad.

The second show is a hacker show. I need someone that is willing to go on
and talk about gleening information from computers and networks using
programs like nMap and queso. More or less I want to scare people into being
more secure with their computers hooked up to DSL and Road Runner. For this
show I want someone willing to go by just a hadle like the prince of
darkness or something similar. I don't know if there is anyone on the list
willing to do that but that is what I am looking for.

Lastly, I wanted to apologise for the return of the digest. I don't usually
subscribe by digest but I didn't know how many emails a day this list
generates so I didn't want to take a chance. Scoldings well taken, sorry
bout that guys.

Thanks,
Don
