* Christopher John Shaker (cjshaker@shaker-net.com) [020217 09:35]: ->As far as security holes, read the CERT announcements. ->There are tons of security holes in the Linux tools, too. -> Could we all get it through our heads that the holes are holes in pkgs shipped with both UNIX and Linux distributions. They are not holes in the Linux kernel...but holes suffered across the board. If WuFTPD has a hole on AIX it will have the same hole on SuSE as it has on Solaris as it has on FreeBSD. Windows..all the holes reported for Windows are on Windows for Windows..it's special (Mr. Rogers Voice). So..if SuSE, Redhat and Mandrake report holes in WuFTPD..it's one hole not three holes. It can't be three when it's the same exploit. Also, you can go to any security site that isn't NTBugtraq or some WinCentric site and count the bugs yourself if you do it properly and see that Windows has so many more exploits and holes then Unix software does. Please do not say LiNUX has the hole unless it's a kernel exploit..say that blah blah has an exploit and lets leave it there. -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "I've never been quarantined.
