> will do, sorry. a DOS is still a form of exploit - you exploit One way to clarify your thinking about this: to repair a DOS problem, you simply need to fix the effected service (with a big hammer, like "apt-get remove" or an ip firewall entry, or with more subtle tools like fixing the bug and upgrading the packages. Or depending on your available bandwidth, "ignore it" :-)
To recover from an exploit, you've completely lost trust in the machine and may have to reinstall the entire system to recover from it. This is a totally different order of problem. (of course, we are talking about proftpd here -- I'm surprised anyone cares about the DOS issue, given that it's had sendmail-like levels of security flaws over time -- they're enough reason to remove it altogether...) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
