Guess it just depends on the lists that you hang out on :)

And would you agree that the more 'clueless' admins suffer from being
hacked?

It's possbile. But it's also possible that more 'cluefull' people are
running solaris and patch it up. I see TONS of bugs/holes/solaris fly
across my desk all the time. But it just happens that most of the time,
cluefull admins are running the system and either already have the service
turned off, or have patched.
