    This sort of solution is like when goes to the doctor and says
    "It hurts when I do this..." and one does a common normal
    hand gesture and the doctor's response is "well don't do that..."
    This is kind a response of that is easy for one person to make
    and it really never solves the problem.

    Alas I can't do to much better, not being a Solaris person, although
    I do have a Solaris box to play with, so I might be able to figure out
    something. at some point. I would worry if I could do something to
    the port and get data through it rather have it just time out. or
    something..

    I'll ask my friend what he does as the "just don't do x" or just get rid
    of x never seems like a good idea. If you try to connect with telnet
    rather than ssh to that box it just doesn't go through.

    Have Fun,
    Sends Steve
