None of that has anything necessarily to do with Serv-U itself. By your logic, there are thousands of quality apps you should steer clear of for no good reason. I went to work on a new client's server and found that there was an instance of qmail installed without their knowledge sending out spam. Should we all steer away from qmail because of that or should we assume that the moron who set up the server didn't secure it properly??? Oh wait, I know -- maybe I should put some real thought into switching my firewall out if it's a flavor preferred by hackers? Damn, you know I'm going to have to reinstall my server OS too, as I'm running Linux which, as we all know, is really "popular with the hacker crowd." Unfortunately, I'll have to find a different browser to use on the 'net too, because every time I'm on a windows box, I use Firefox and I've heard that most hackers prefer that over IE when they're stuck on a windows machine.
It just seems like a pretty poorly-though-out thing to say, doesn't it? --Ferg Charlie Griefer wrote: >the fact that it's popular with the hacker crowd? > >How about because i was running serv-u and one day i inexplicably had >FTP accounts open on drives A-Z with >read/write/execute/delete/procreate access to all (and oddly enough, i >didn't create any of those accounts). > >How about one of the previous posters who mentioned finding a copy of >Serv-U on their server even though they didn't install it? > >How is the fact that the hacker crowd seems to be able to manipulate >just about any install of Serv-U to their will (regardless of whose >machine it's on), not be a negative thing??? > >On 10/10/05, Ken Ferguson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>I'd be very interested in hearing why exactly you seem to think that >>this is a negative for Serv-U??? >> >>--Ferg >> >>Charlie Griefer wrote: >> >> >> >>>serv-U's also popular with the hacker crowd :) >>> >>>i've been running the filezilla server for a while now with no >>>problems. caveat...i'm running it on my home machine and basically >>>just use it for personal FTP. it's not under a business-type load. >>> >>>'free' didn't used to be a bad thing :) >>> >>> >>> >>> >> >> >> > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:220563 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
