    I guess you don't use Postfix, PureFTPd, OpenSSH, BIND 9, or OpenBSD, for that matter. Since they are free, they cannot be secure.

    My apology! By "submission" I meant the original story. Had I meant your comment, I would have said "post". I probably wasn't clear.

    I followed up to your post because I was taking your point -- except that I added the "two years" reference. And of course called the submittor a troll.

    Kind regards!
