Apple releases Security Update 2002-03-24

Apple today released its Security Update 2002-03-24; it addresses a Samba vulnerability which could allow unauthorized remote access to the host system. (The built-in Windows file sharing is based on the open source technology called Samba and is off by default in Mac OS X.) OpenSSL is also updated to address an issue in which RSA private keys can be compromised when communicating over LANs, Internet2/Abilene, and interprocess communication on local machine.

sendmail?

Why would it? it doesn't even update it...

Of course, if you're going to be using such a buggy and insecure OS like OS X, you deserve to have sendmail corrupted. Get a real computer, like a PC running Windows 2000. Now THAT'S security!

The scary part is, I don't think he was being sarcastic.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. (If it wasn't sarcasm, 'THAT' wouldn't have been all uppercase. And there would've been more "I've had my 2000 server up for 60834 days without so much as a hacker thinking of breaking into my system" crap that the 'real' trolls put up.

Not to mention it would be hard to take the comment seriously in any regard, with the recent announcement of a huge security hole in like every version of Windows, and another announcement that its actaully a lot worse then originally reported....,
