_IF_ you are experienced enough to know what to change. ssh for
example gratiosly informs that "connection refused from ip.ad.re.ss".
How the helll should a mcse know what to change from that log entry?
supposing ofcourse that he can find the logfile in the beginning?
Someone who knows where the ALL:PARANOID setting is can surely put it
_on_ if he wants, but a newcomer _can't_ put it off before a long
struggle.
