I know this is going way OT, but the peeps running Wintendo systems need
to know this, too. (I run XP at work and 2K at home in addtion to SUSE
and SLES.)
First, I would disagree with using ZA as a software firewall. Actually,
from all I've read/seen, a good hardware firewall is all you should
need. (Provided it is configured correctly.)
If a software solution is needed, a very well respected one is Outpost
(http://www.agnitum.com/products/), which isn't free, but very good.
They also have a Trojan killer - Tauscan - which acts similar to the one
you mentioned.
Second - as an addition - go hang out at www.security-forums.com - they
have a ton of peeps dedicated to security on all OS platforms, including
Linux.
Thanks for the write up!!!!
