So long as you shut everything down and don't allow remote access to your system. SSH is /generally/ a good bet, but has been the entry-point for exploits in the past. > attacked OS unless you really cook the numbers and only count systems > running web servers whose names end with an x.

(not naming any naMeS) Viruses and Trojans indicate a security problem in the user community. Worms indicate a security problem in the technology. Pointing out that your technology is better than some other user community is... also cooking the numbers. Note that rejecting claims that Linux is "fundamentally secure" does not mean that a counter-claim is being made that Linux is "as bad as some of the other systems". Alternative poor designs don't improve your design in any absolute sense. -Stewart "What tasty soup this is!"
