Wow you found one security flaw!  Its funny how windows lovers always make a big deal out of one *nix flaw when there are thousands for their beloved winderz.  Besides that what are you doing looking for *nix flaws?  Shouldn't you be downloading the latest hotfix from m$?

So, let's see, if Windows has some security problems then you bitch, if any of *NIX programs has security problems, then you do what? Yes, you just hide it, like nothing happened.
I can't beleive it, it's not just that your super secure UNIX machines was hacked, program UNIX people rely on was compromised as well at the same time.
Good example to be given to government bodies about security involving open source. At least if I download from Microsoft I get signed packages first and second I get it from trusted source (I don't know any example when trojan was embedded in Microsoft product).
Now, please what you gonna say?

You dumbass, *nix people don't try to hide problems, they fix them it is microsoft who chooses to hide a problem for a few months, then takes a few more months to finally roll out a fix!
Then when people complain about the security breach and how long it took to fix they can say 'This demonstrates the need for palladium', I say 'Fuck you! and stop being so lazy because you have the money and time to make a secure product so don't use it as an excuse to take my freedom away.

Another good example to give the "goverment bodies" is all the security flaws involving M$ products, the thousands apon thousands of virus's, trojans, worms, buffer overflows ect. ect. ect...  Then let them choose witch they want, without a m$ lawyer or slick corporate asshole there to pressure them.  Again I say, WOW! you found one hole in *nix, now lets see how many holes you can find in the swiss cheese that is winderz.

voidmain:
He didn't even find a hole in *NIX. He found where someone planted a trojan in the SSH development source that was only exposed for a few days. It was never widely distributed in any distro. Would have only effected those that downloaded the latest development source and compiled it themselves. And like I said, those sort of people surely would have been advised and fixed the hole. Wouldn't have effected "John Doe" in the least.

That's pretty weak if that's the only dirt he can dig up. Shit, there's MUCH worse than that, although still not anything close to the security issues in any Windows OS.
