Bugtraq: Re: A funny way to DOS pcANYWHERE8.0 and 9.0

[chrismcdaniel () YAHOO COM (Chris McDaniel)]

I also found on PCAnywhere version 8.0, if you accidently terminate a session (e.g.
unplug your network cable from your PC, get dropped from a dialup network
connection, etc.) that you hang up web, ftp, telnet, indexing, PCAnywhere and
several other services on the host PC.  The easiest way to recover is to reboot the
host PC.
