Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3613

You're getting more and more ridiculus. SSH is of course vulnerable to attacksfrom-China-.

Yes.

No.

However. But that's not the point. Besides, SSH is just an example.

Not always. But just once. On my server. Possibly.

No.

Right.

Wrong.

Wrong. In both cases. MS will supply patches. People will apply those patches.

Wrong.

Wrong.

Who cares about Linux viruses? Trojans are a much greater threat.

No.

This, I do believe. I don't have any doubts at all.

Again: That's very likely true. No reason to not trust you on this.

It's just so, that this doesn't matter at all.

Yes. That's why other security measures should *NEVER* *EVER* be stopped just because a packet filter is running. So you're acting on false buttumptions here.

Yes, you keep on repeating your nonesense.

Nobody cares about epidemic proportions. All that matters *TO* *ME* is, that there's possibly *ONE* successful attack against *MY* servers.

Because numbers don't matter.

Uh? Nonstandard Port? Nobody ever said something to that respect.

No, it doesn't. Why should it?

Again: Stats don't matter.

No, you haven't.

Wrong again.

What problem? That you're wrong? No, that's not a problem - that's a fact.

You don't know. Me neither.

Maybe. Maybe not. IMO, it's better to bet on the "Maybe not" case then to hope, that there will be a fix before the bad guys have a working exploit.

I'm betting on "Maybe not". You're hoping. IMO, that's wrong. Totally.
