First, a point of order: if you are sincere about the "with all due
respect"-part, then don't suggest that I am a cracker.

I wrote a short post describing how to make and keep a Red Hat system
secure.  I glossed over some details, but I still think it was pretty
good, and damn specific, given how short it was.

You assert that it won't work.  OK, be specific.  Reread what I
posted.  Assume that such a RH 7.0 system has been on the internet,
maintained as I described, without a firewall, for the last two years.
Tell me how it got rooted during time.  Be specific.
