Someone scurrying around the internet with one system and an organization providing massive services cannot be compared security wise. I mean Sun, Yahoo, Netscape, Amazon provide massive amounts of services and features on the internet. You can't possibly say that a lone little Linux system running nmail(pine?) and netscape and no real services is any kind of security risk. Having run and protected (tried) like JP Morgan, Prodigy etc. the services and vulnerabilities really start to escalate(Word, Outlook, Lotus, exchange etc). And 100 of thousands if not millions per hour are pulling and pushing services to their limits. It really is mind boggling the information that is propagated along the Internet, China alone is growing at 10,000,000 users a year. God where is there growth like that in any other industry? No wonder microsofts makin' so much money, they said there are 1,000,000,000 users on the internet and is 90% of that on MS? Jan Clairmont LDAP and Solaris Admin.
