Ron,

can you be more specific as to what security hole or who could
exploit it?

I have sole access directly to my webserver so far as a real
terminal.  I allow SSH for only a couple of non-root users and
that is key based authentication and my FTP is chrooted to the
users home folder.  i'm starting to get into IP Tables.  My server
is NAT'ed behind a modem and the webmin port is not open.  I figure
if someone can get in and exploit Linuxconf then I'm hosed even if I
un-install it cuz they can merely get in.

Jeff
