Sorry - I meant *debian* linux. Not any linux dist.
Two things:
o The app is installed in a secure way (ie root can only login on console)
and historically "insecure apps" like rlogin/telnet are not delivered
or enabled by default.
o The debian community (as I see know it from the past year) is pretty
paranoid about security and this is open source - they review the code
fix the security bugs (eg postfix MTA).
It's certainly possible to install/use debian linux in an insecure way.
My assertion was that's not the default.
That bettter?
