Sure. As has been pointed out elsewhere, the *nix vulnerability total includes entries for all flavors of *nix, and dozens of linux distributions. May are seen to be duplicates -- i.e. a specific vulnerability will be listed and counted separately for Solaris, AIX, *BSD, and all the various linux distributions even though it is the same vulnerability and fixed by the same source patch. And the number of critical vulnerabilities in *nix is still lower than for Win. -- -John ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
