[Knitebane]

Anybody who thinks OS X, Unix, Windows, or any other OS is basically safe out of the box is naive.

Thus spaketh he who knows not.

I would have no problem dropping a fresh OpenBSD, Trusted Solaris or OSF/1 box onto the raw Internet.

Any of them would be impervious to the typical traffic on the Internet.

Just because Windows is a rickety, rat-infested tenement building doesn't mean that's the way that everyone lives.

Cute language, but naive... I have seen many average-skilled computer consultants trained in simple yet effective hacks into OpenBSD and a "Trusted" Solaris box.
