IPv6 has been hyped as the security shim of all shims for tcp/IP.  Even
able to cure the common cold, if implimented prior to mass
rollout/acceptance.  Which is why we are seeing many security admins on
various platforms not paying attention to security 101 tenants, if it's
not needed disable/remove it.

I'm gessing now that many in the *nix as well as router realms will now
pay a tad more heed to the basics?


Thanks,

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
