The Twenty Most Critical Internet Security Holes

Ant writes: "A little over a year ago, the SANS Institute and the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) released a document summarizing the Ten Most Critical Internet Security Vulnerabilities. Thousands of organizations used that list to prioritize their efforts so they could close the most dangerous holes first. This new list, released on October 1, 2001, updates and expands the Top Ten list. With this new release, we have increased the list to the Top Twenty vulnerabilities, and we have segmented it into three categories: General Vulnerabilities, Windows Vulnerabilities, and Unix Vulnerabilities."

    no wonder you've switched to djb's crap. Sure it's good software, but so are others, and they don't have some draconian dictatorial method of deciding how YOU should set up YOUR filesystem. Again, running redhat (I'm assuming by name association) it's no wonder you don't mind a messy filesystem determined by some other programmer's methods.
