Everyone,
We can go back and forth all day about how MS creates inherently
insecure systems, flame war back and forth about this or that until we
are all blue in the face. However, this is a Red Hat mutual support list,
not a Microsoft Flame War list.
Great, there are unpatched MS SQL Servers out there. What does that have
to do with supporting each other with Red Hat Linux? Could we drop this
subject and move on to better and more important issues?
Regards,

now i'm not a fan of micros~1, but i feel that i have to check this
statement
for accuracy. in cases like "the sql slammer" the one at fault is
definately
not the author of the software, but rather the halfwit who's running it
unpatched. as i understand it, micros~1 had released a patch for mssql
months ago, and this virus is only attacking the boxes that have yet to
be
patched.
just think about what the internet would be like if there were millions
of
linux users running 3year-old versions of apache & mysql... i would
propose
that it's not just microsoft's inability (or unwillingness) to get their
sh*t
together, but also the ineptitude of these "sysadmins" that insist on
running
this software and don't know (or don't care to know) how to patch it...
