What does NetBunny do? And more to the point, as a network administrator should I be concerned about it being on Macs connected to our network? It's showing up in several NBP lookups I've seen recently. Ben Schmidt Bell-Northern Research, Ltd. Ph: (613) 763-3906 Information P.O.

There is an associated application that is used to get things started. I don't know about the network impact of the beastie, because we don't have it here. As a matter of fact, the Eveready people were upset about it, and the author has pulled distribution of it. But apparently it made it to the Apple Developer's CD, so there are plenty of copies floating around. Mike Paisley paisley@ccvr1.cc.ncsu.edu
