Hello list!

A few weeks ago there was a discussion about automated ssh scanning with
user/password combinations like guest/guest or admin/admin.
I set up a debian woody fully patched with both accounts activated, and
got rooted some days later...

Uhm. How do you mean, "fully patched"? What kernel were you running?
Hello Henrik

I am relying on the debian software distribution system, so it was there
latest stable kernel-source for woody. So it was the latest debianised
2.4.19. Shouldn't I believe it secured against these exploits?
