Cool. So, you can look forward to having your machines compromised by li0n2 (or whatever), and having to scrub and re-install every single machine on your network, because as part of the rootkit they also installed a password sniffer, and used the machine as a launching point for other break-in attempts. I wish you luck in keeping your machines secure, starting about five minutes after they begin the process to install Linux on that system -- I doubt that they'll finish the install process before the machine has already been "0wn3d" by some "skr1pt k1dd13". > Unfortunately as long as FreeBSD doesn't do better with > Compaq Raids I am not sure how much luck I will have with production > machines. If you got one, contribute it to the project (or at least let someone try building some code on it), so that we can get support folded into the main code base. That's really about the only way this sort of thing happens, unless the manufacturer decides to donate a piece of hardware directly. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> H4sICIFgXzsCA2RtYS1zaWcAPVHLbsMwDDvXX0H0kkvbfxiwVw8FCmzAzqqj1F4dy7CdBfn7 Kc6wmyGRFEnvvxiWQoCvqI7RSWTcfGXQNqCUAnfIU+AT8OZ/GCNjRVlH0bKpguJkxiITZqes MxwpSucyDJzXxQEUe/ihgXqJXUXwD9ajB6NHonLmNrUSK9nacHQnH097szO74xFXqtlbT3il wMsBz5cnfCR5cEmci0Rj9u/jqBbPeES1I4PeFBXPUIT1XDSOuutFXylzrQvGyboWstCoQZyP dxX4dLx0eauFe1x9puhoi0Ao1omEJo+BZ6XLVNaVpWiKekxN0VK2VMpmAy+Bk7ZV4SO+p1L/ uErNRS/qH2iFU+iNOtbcmVt9N16lfF7tLv9FXNj8AiyNcOi1AQAA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
