As was discussed on the RH list, I do have to say that this was a well planned attack, and being that it actually brought out the attention of the US Secretary of Defense - AND brought Microsoft's LACK of security further into the public's eye (think of the timing...what great timing) this shows the public that there are even more reasons for not putting their trust and their data into the hands of a monopolistic megalomaniac company like M$. My system never skipped a beat; my ISP didn't skip a beat (and they have MySQL servers in their backend and linux boxes on their front ends)... Whoever is playing this out (and it has to have something to do with the fact that Linux World Expo is going on and Microsoft SHOWED UP there...dig that) - I think it's all aimed at just chucking mud on M$'s face...which ain't gonna hurt our community (linux et. al.) -- Mon, 27 Jan 2003 05:30:00 +1100 5:30am up 10 days, 15:13, 6 users, load average: 0.32, 0.49, 0.43 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Luke Skywalker: I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home.
