This does work on its own... I simply loaded the readme.eml and it contained
the embedded mime readme.exe(which I never ran or found on linux system) but
it does propagate thru network shares and to any writeable directories for
the current user. so any samba shares and network connections to win clients
file and printer sharing llows it to write easily to windows unsecure file
and printsharing.
As for the message on samba.orgs site its under announcements and says URGENT
in bold black letters. I am finally clean of it after check ing for 2 days,
no more loose *.eml files and btw, clear your cach folder if you have benn
infected by viewing a site..
BTW Joel that was me and I had(note: had) java running on Konquerer, that was
how I got infected. That was prolly the only reason that I was able to
spread it to my winclients otherwise I likely would have been completely safe
from it.

grow a new spirit, to be in compassion for those who are lost, and
one in determination to break those who dare test our resolve to be free...
