Wrong (again?).  MRTG is only identified in the APACHE .htaccess
details.  Are you suggesting that Apache .htaccess is flawed and all
servers that deploy it are vulnerable.  LOL!

If I had a nickel for every "attack" on that box I wouldn't be here
posting on this list. ;-)  I even turned off snort because it was
filling up the /var/log/snort partition too often.   Just because there
are open ports and attack attempts in no way implies vulnerabilities.
