I work for a very high exposure hosting company, and I have had 2 windows boxes compromised in the last 2 years, both were because SQL was not fully patched in install (we installed from a CD that did not even have SP1), both very easily fixed. In that same time span I have had around 20 linux boxes compromised through various exploits. PHPBB was a big bear, only the absolutely latest version is not vulnerable, PHP code can make your box a hackers playground very quickly, there are even PHP based virtual terminals your customers can upload to your hosting servers, just one rung in the ladder to root kitting the box. -- Best regards, Charles mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
