Hi,
almost all of you remark how FreeBSD is more-secure-than-others-OS, will
add nothing to varius comments.
but i look in syslogs of some FreeBSD internet server and there is a great
evidence that some "botnets" are (again) tryng simple combination of
uid/pwd.
starting from Dec 8 01:00:34 (CET) hundreds of zombies are looking for a
valid username.
it mean that most of the matter is our; the FreeBSD users.
we are the only ones that will (or will not) patch the systems;
i love the FreeBSD security while it is MOSTLY based on KNOWLEDGE of users
than on a PERFECT code.
cheers
Alessandro
