I'll have to look into that.  But let me add one thing:  That other 5% is
the problem.  Actually, you must do much better than 95%.  If 5% of
attempts succeeded on my machine, I'd have a new intruder about once every
2-3 days.  As it stands, and without portsentry, I just went 2 years
without a single break-in (that I know of).
