And people wonder how and why servers get hacked, and why there is so many
open mail relays.
Well I can tell ya,
1. Microsoft! (no need to explain this one)
2. Users who do not know what they are doing with the servers they are
setting up on their broadband. People no longer take the time to RTFM or
read the faq, mans, and howto's.
I applaud Mandrake for making a semi secure distro! Hopefully we can stop
the su abuse sometime soon.
