<div>>Subject: Security Problem?</div>
<div>></div>
<div>></div>
<div>>I use my linux box as a router inbetween my cable modem and
internal</div>
<div>>non-routable network.</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>The power went out and my ups was about to die so I issued that
command</div>
<div>>shutdown -h now. I had to leave before the power came back
on and so I</div>
<div>>left with my system halted. I came back and my roommate
was using his</div>
<div>>computer. I said, "I know, I know, the internet is
out" and he said,</div>
<div>>"What are you talking about? The internet is working
perfectly" And it</div>
<div>>was.</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>My questions is, if my system is halted doesn't that mean that
all the</div>
<div>>processes are stopped? Or shouldn't it? And, anyway,
is this a problem</div>
<div>>with my specific computer(install?) or not? This seems to
be to be a</div>
<div>>huge security threat... but then, what do I know....</div>
