No. Join Inet-access and keep up with everybody talking about the SAME
EXACT hack going across the net that effects redhat systems. It's SO
frequent that they are starting a new list for warnings. Apparently, it's
so widespread, a few systems show up each day, then everybody notices
their systems being hammered from a new ip address, and that's added to
the list. People are constanly trying to contact the owners of the boxes,
although most of the time they are clueless, and dont even know they've
been hacked and rootkitted. I would actually go out on a limb and say that
so far every box that has been hacked has been redhat... 100%.
