Ummm....isn't it (or at least shouldn't it be) standard practice to remove these types of things entirely from internet exposed equipment? Small test programs that are meant to ensure the installer that everything is working as expected should never exist on production servers anyway. (Where never exist means "removed" or "chmod 000", etc.) Is it really the vendor's responsibility to remove them from the distribution? After all, they are helpful when used properly. And any admin worth their paycheck should know better than to leave such bits lying around for the "bad guys" to use.
