[NTLUG:Discuss] Red Hat open to backdoor password

[Kyle_Davenport@compusa.com]

The whole story was in the page source.  Yes it was the default piranha password
errata.  I must say I get suspicious at how often I go to a site with .asp links
which do not display.   I don't know whether to blame bad asp code or
netscape/linux "incompatibilities".

I went to the site and didn't get the whole story (bad html problem), so
I am not sure _which_ security hole this was pointing out...  The only
one I saw today was the  Piranha hole.

Nothing to worry about if you don't have Piranha.
