Re: [cobalt-security] SDI remote ProFTPD exploit

[Theodore Jones <theoj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well,

If the hackers saw the last messages and indeed are monitoring this list, they
already know about it I would guess.  I probably could have done a search to
track this report down, but I'll admit to being slogged with "issues" all day
and was looking for a lazy alternative....

I appreciate your concern, but the "security by obscurity" issue has been
thrashed out before in this forum.  I say let the information flow, block the
holes when we find out about them, and let everyone here know loud and clear....

My humble opinion only,

~ Theo
