The 'security' issue is about the OS itself.
Here's where you're on weak ground, Dominic. The reason that we're annoyed with Linux trolls is not because there's a bug in their FTP server. Hell, I expect bugs in ALL software (especially yours). The problem is their bogus insistence that "it can't happen because open source is a superior model to commercial models". And spare us the nonsense about not being able to compromise the OS. Buffer-overrun attacks can wipe out Linux just as easily as Windows.

Who says bugs can't happen? That's different that saying open-source or commercial software is better. Actually, like different computers, the different models are good at different things.

The problem is their bogus insistence that "it can't happen because open source is a superior model to commercial models". Nice backtracking, but nope -- ya'll are claiming this is a Linux bug.
Besides, one of the biggest claims of 'open source' is we fix bugs *quickly*. So we obviously never claimed to have no bugs. You just put your foot in it, and I now wonder about your actual technical ability. You *can't* have really meant the things you've been saying, can you?

"What's the matter, people? Cat got your FTP server?"
Lol, see #131.
