Bob,
Right now the three biggest security threats to Linux are...
1/ not having wu-ftpd installed with the latest fixed version
wu-ftpd-2.6.1-7mdk
2/ using sunrpc port 111 for NFS (stat.d exploit)
3/ using an older version of bind/named (DNS)
Get rid of wu-ftpd and install proftpd. Works great in 7.1.

Last night, my webserver machine (Mandrake 7.1) was "defaced". The
hacker got root access, and uploaded a script that went into every
virtual host and replaced the index.htm(l) file with his own file. His
"defacement" included his email, and a link to his site:

When I ran an FTP server last year I avoided wu-ftp like the plague. I found proftpd
much faster and it has less holes. It also was easier (for me) to configure.
As always, YMMV
