On @home, my firewall has burned about 2k port 80 requests for the
last few days, a 404 handler has coughed on about 20/day that the
firewall let through (ie: the widescan mode of code red).

On a related topic, when you know someone how knows his [solaris] box
is likely compromised and has the skills to fix it but doesn't, what's
the appropriate punishment for said individual?  Flogging?  Visit to a
bitey ant hill with some honey?  Bury to the neck and stampede some
horses past?
