Well. I did not press on it hard. I just made the service to do what it should. Yet I'm not a developer nor security expert and therefore do not know which security issues the software brings up just because something is not turned on or off. Here comes my question: is it possible to have such issues (that an attacker can get *root* privileges) or not. Also it is interesting just out of curiosity - is it possible that some malicious software can remain in hardware somewhere if I reformatted the previously hacked install? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
