That's hilarious! On a related note, it's a little scary out there on the 'net these days. I opened up the standard ssh port through my firewall for a few days as part of some things I was trying out on my linux box. I should have at least changed the port, but I was lazy. Anyway, I got what looked like an automated brute force attack from a machine somewhere in France and another in the Czech Republic showing up in the logs. I've since moved to an SSL VPN (really an SSL gateway). I'm reasonably knowledgable about basic security, though certainly not an expert. Your average Joe Schmoe doesn't stand a chance.
