perhaps cert is being used as a weapon, as marc suggested. that is the most benign interpretation i can think of. so i ask you again: don't you think cert might be jeopardizing its effectiveness through these actions?
"Do not attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." Without support, I think CERT is merely being stupid. Someone else (maybe even a government employee) is being malicious. I do think cert is harming their effectiveness by doing this. My guess is that they never stopped to think that someone might use them in this way to shut down an "unpopular" ftp site. Marc
