Too much M$BS

---the only update i need to apply to all computer are things like RPC vulns. IE vuls dont bother me neither do the media player or outlook stuff. See when you configure things right in the first place you make less work for yourself in the future.---

I didn't ask how many you ignore. I asked how many apply.


---You, go here

read about the mozilla security vulns and all the other vuln found in the last release of RH enterprize workstation (now why would they have a sendmail patch for a workstation?). But hey since its RedHat its ok to only fix security bugs once every 3 monthes, in the interum we'll all whip out our developer hats and write our own patch, riiight.---

Now, again, I said how many apply to each machine? How does this apply to my web server? I have the core components needed for the kernel, Apache, PHP and MySQL. How does a browser vulnerability apply? I'm not running M$ so I don't have to worry about it. How does sendmail apply? I don't have that either. I'm not running X either. So, tell me, how many critical updates do I need to worry about? How many of these unneeded security holes can you leave off your M$ server?

If you'd work on your reading comprehension instead of looking for ways to shill for M$ maybe you'd understood the message.

---and as far as me being a shill is concerned, you can KMA.---

Why is it all M$ shills fall back on this when they are shown to be wrong? I don't know, but all of you do. No facts? Start with innuenndos. Seems to be the shills creed.

--- If i see someone spoutin BS im gonna call'em on it. At least i try and help people on here which is more that i can say for you.---

Yeah, I call shills on their BS, too. Consider yourself called.
