Hi Andreas,

well, I'am not the skynet spokesman ;-) But I belive for networked 
components there is always a responsible person who at least can smash a 
hammer on a disfuctional/revolting device (hopefully). As I pointed out - if 
someone distribute some thousand WRT54g routers thoughout the city, I'am 
always willing to learn from them about their self-organizing features. For 
everyday admin tasks I'll stay with KISS.

Regards, Sven-Ola

I was thinking of sensors, devices for the automation industry etc. These 
devices
are of course configured by people, started by people etc, but when in 
operation,
there are no people involved. The devices can be sending information back to 
a central,
can operate machines (automation industry) etc. Security in these networks 
are often
as essential as in other networks, and everthing most be automatic, 
including update
of security mechanisms.

Do you seriously think this is sci-fi?

andreas.
