I'm sorry for chasing after the money and abandoning
the one true Linux. I was confused.
So what really changed my mind? My Red Hat box was
my router to the net via cable modem. I thought
I had it pretty secure (TCP-wrappers with a deny
all policy, firewall, and only telnet and ftp available
in inetd.conf) and all errata applied, but lo and
behold, the "Millenium Internet Worm" got in and
attacked my LAN and a whole slew of machines on the
'Net. My ISP sent me a nastygram telling me to
knock-off the hacking.
In the post-mortem, guess what was completely
unaffected (except for making my logs bigger) -
all of my SuSE 5.3 boxes. So now I have SuSE 6.0
on my router and I gave Red Hat the boot.
