Wow! That's a good way to have unpatched security holes in your apps, due |
| 10 |
to not applying the security updates! =8^( Glad you eventually figured |
| 11 |
out the issue, before some cracker did! (Luckily for now, Linux doesn't |
| 12 |
have quite the blackhat community attention that MSWormOS gets, but as it |
| 13 |
continues to develop and gain popularity, one must expect that'll |
| 14 |
eventually change, and it seems to have already changed some, witness the |
| 15 |
penetrations or near-penetrations in the last 18 months or so of the |
| 16 |
servers of big projects such as the kernel, GNU, and Debian.) |
