"The potential exists.  I'd think that in general trojans were more 
worrysome than viruses.  Last I'd looked, there were no known Unix viruses 
actally "in the wild", and only a couple of NT specific ones (though some 
DOS and Windows ones still work, I believe)."

Could you tell me the NT-specific ones?

Cheers,
Russ
