	Whether it was not affect'd in RH5.2 doesn't mean the damn fsckin=20
script kiddies of the world won't try it.. Debian isn't vulnerable to this=
=20
exploit (as evident by the fact they've tried it repeatedly against my mach=
ines
prior to my firewall being convert'd from ipfwadm to ipchains and the repea=
ted
attempts being made since the firewalls inception as evident by the most re=
cent
report I've made to an ISP as of this morning).

	I just wish there was a more effective way to deal with script kiddies
than making reports to their provider with full documented evidence. I'm all
for a good "script kiddie LART-fest"... maybe that would put the fear of the
BOFH in them... as simply reporting it just begins a never-ending cycle of =
them
losing one account and getting another one from a different provider (or if=
 the
provider is dense enuf the same provider under another name/credit card).

	Respectfully,
	Jeremy T. Bouse
	AKA Tired of script kiddies who should just be shot
