Novell again managed it to Slashdot. --- But most likely they are not _that_ happy about that as it happened because some of their web servers were hacked. Fortunately the SUSE distribution servers were protected in a better way and thus they did not suffer from the hack and the current distribution files are still sane.
From my daily experience there are _very_ many systems at companies and other facilities that have numerous security flaws although fixing them would be an easy job. Most times this is because the system administrators have no clue when security is concerned. Many of them even believe that they _have_ a clue and are doing many things they believe will improve security of their system but miss the vital parts that make up the required basis for a secure platform, like for instance installing security fixes for known flaws. The management often does not have the budget to hire people that actually have a clue but more often the management even does not have a clue that their system administrators also don't have one.
As a 30km run was again due according to my workout schedule I decided to find a nice path from Mannheim via Ludwigshafen to Frankenthal. Actually I did find one that does not require to cross high traffic roads. Due to the fact that I found the path was shorter than 15km one way to Frankenthal city I continued to run eastwards to the autobahn A61 and then the same path back to Mannheim. If you were interested in my findings drop me a note but most likely most of you won't even know Frankenthal.
