it would appear. I am by no means a Linux expert (I barely see myself as
a Linux admin), but I know that if I was going to put a Linux server on
the internet, every service that was accessible would be Chrooted,
looked at for excessive global write permissions, unneeded services
would be disabled, remote root login would be disable, unneeded Apache
mods should be removed or disabled, etc, etc.

And I am not even sure how to do 100% of those things (very little
experience in chroot jails), but then against I don't admin Linux
servers...if I had to, I would find out really fast. ;)

Ja, well even the s00per l33t can be nabbed, or has that kismet flaw
been fixed yet? ;-)
