<snips Dennis enthusiasm to shreds>
Somebody got the latest worm on their M$ windows comp and it mailed itself to me and my linux comp. So I saved it to text and opened it to see what it looked like. Couldn't read it cause it was text interpretation of ASCII, duh. Anyway, I then checked over my sys and looked at all the logs, nothing strange going on. I deleted the text file and email and feel pretty sure that the worm didn't turn. Seems like they have to be able to execute at root level to work and linux doesn't allow that unless the keyboard says so. So maybe I'm stupid but I just had to look.

Read the first article that is linked in in the article I posted. No i'm not saying we're incredibly vulnerable but I am saying it is good to be cautiously optimistic & Not stupidly blind to the fact that a *Nix system can be compromised. Its just useful info.
