[Cialug] Re: Playing with SSH ports

[daniel.juliano@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Um, they block outgoing because they can?  Their version of security is
screwy - someone dl'd a virus through an email attachment off of a hotmail
account.  The next day, all Passport IP's were blocked off (probably a good
thing anyways :)), and still are.  So now noone can get to a hotmail
account.  But some other webmail addresses still work.

The upshot of the paranoia is we haven't been noticeably affected by virii
the 1.5 yrs I've been here.

It might be possible (I really doubt it) but I think that it would be a bad 
idea even if it can be done.

Also why is it blocking outgoing connections? usually from the inside of a 
firewall it does not matter what ports are open on the outside.
