Hello

That's how RedHat got the nick name RootHack.  However, they have much
improved since.

Subject:    [TriLUG] Basic Security Question



Three years ago (yeah - I know - an eternity in software time), I went to a
seminar/conference about Linux. The speaker was talking about how Linux
installs left a lot of open doors that are major security risks. Doors that
have to be closed by the user and that most student users never realize
that they need to close those doors. This was at a time when there were a
lot of problems on the network due to students not configuring their
computers correctly.

So - is this true for installations nowadays? And if so, ya'll will help me
Saturday close all those doors right? ;)
