I can only speak for myself, but I had a sparc running vulnerable
wu-ftpd and other services I can't remember currently, and it didn't
get compromised for the 1.5 years I had it running.  Lots of attacks,
clearly not os or arch specific, but none tailored for sparc.  I took
it off the net about 6 months ago when I moved ISPs.
