Legendary SGI security team strikes again

[Eric Bennett <emb22@cornell.edu>]

The legendary security folks at SGI strike again!  Attached to the release
notes for a recent IRIX patch which fixes a MAJOR telnetd security hole, we
find the following:

       "Because you want to install only the patches for problems
       you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
       default."


LOL.  Nice to know their official opinion is not to install security
patches until you've been hacked.

The appellate court has said that the judge in the case was a 
bozo and that the defendant was still a crook.  That sounds
about right to me.
