I think not - it was never really there. Only an idiot would think that linux is bug-free. It must be over a year since I read an article saying that samba is insecure out-of-the-box. That goes for many more issues, too. The advantage linux has is that it can be nailed down to whatever degree seems applicable - whereas in many cases you can do nothing about the insecurities of windows. It bears consideration though, that as linux becomes more mainstream it will inevitably attract the attention of the script-kiddies. Be warned. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
