Microsoft would have so much more credibility if they didn't have so many security problems like these. That said, I just read a report this week about a Solaris security hole.

That said, I just read a report this week about a Solaris security hole.

No, that was an article about the 'HoneyNet' project that was used as 'disinformation', Clinton-style. It was put here by an MS worker.

That was a 3 year old known bug that was patched quite a while back.

The machine was a 'honeypot' machine, left unpatched with an old known exploit to catch a hacker on purpose. Which it did.

There was a thread here that provided all the relevant links . . .

The actual point of the article in my mind is that hackers target other OS's every day, disproving the theory that MS has so many exploits because hackers target it.

Here's the CERT link about the Solaris hole. It was posted January 14, 2002. Some people on this thread would like you to believe this stuff doesn't happen in the Unix world and, worse, deny it when it does. Otherwise, they'd have a hard time saying that only MS has security issues...
