-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Actually I would rather hope AOL would alter the Red Hat build into something that isn't so exploit friendly. I would be gravely concerned if the stock Red Hat build was put out there for the general AOL user. Those users should be using something that is pre-locked down. The code ought to be audited and it should be configured so that it can exist for long periods of time on the internet without requiring constant patching. As long as the various Linux/GNU system exploits keep coming it makes the environment undesirable for non-hobbiest/corporate settings. Joshua b.
