So you run 1 box to share all of the data to the webservers? Is this kinda dangerous in the fact that losing that box knocks out all your webservers? I would expect/. to run some sort of clustered NFS service or have some redundancy build in. I know RHEL runs a cluster GFS config that allows for multiple boxes to run NFS servers.
If this is a "real world" scenario why is a default install picked? Part of the job description for a sysadmin is to secure a system. If this install "attempted to simulate a "real-world" enterprise e-commerce environment over the course of a year." then how could it be the default configuration? The bugzilla example you annote is for samba, not port of a reasonable database server install.
Also is there a list of the vulnerabilities quantifued in your study?
I guess getting 2 out of 8 ain't bad(housing and RMV). As much as I love all of your "facts" I can't disagree more. High Taxes-check the numbers, Mass tax is not too bad comparatively. Gov't size? No larger than any other liberal states. As far as your anecdote about the rudeness, I would consider Boston a pretty multicultural place.
It makes you wonder what this means for future vulnerabilities. If worms are propagating this quickly after vulnerabilities are discovered, it might not be so fun in the future.
As far as the early days of the Internet, MS was a good thing since it brought many people and $$ to the net. Now they are a scourge upon the net that set new "standards" that only benefit themselves. I am sure the future will only yield more "standards" that attempt to destroy open standards.

Thanks for the /. stories over the years.
