But hey, WTF do I know?

That's about the only thing you've gotten correct here.

This is not a Linux bug. Not even close.

And the lack of knowledge displayed in *claiming* it's a Linux bug is astounding, and fully explains your defense of MS!

As he clearly pointed out, try telling that to admins who installed RedHat Linux along with this FTP server and got f*d over. I'm sure they would be relieved to know that it's not a 'Linux bug' but, rather, just a 'compromise root access bug'.

Um, Batchmo? Oh, BATCHmo...

As long as you're taking the time to rake me over the coals for being "*so*" ignorant in "*claiming* it's a Linux bug" (yow, "astounding", even !), could you spare just a little bit more effort and... how can I say this tactfully... could you bother to cite where I "claimed that this was a Linux bug"?

After you finish that (Kirk to computer: calculate Pi"), you can take the time to explain how this isn't a linux exploit.

Ideally, I'd like to see you explain it to the aforementioned Linux admins who are yanking its tentacles from their collective bungs as we speak.
