Re:security and uptime (Score 1)

well the solaris and linux breakins were before my time and I don't have access to the files reporting the breakins (or they don't exist) but yes, a lot of exploits are in applications running on a system. by comparison, I see a lot more application expoloits than operating system exploits. though slashdot just got an article about the linux kernel crashing with just shell and c compiler access, and there are plenty of users on systems you just can't trust.
