RE: [[cobalt-users] Server Hacked?]

This can happen on ANY machine. If you find a machine that's hack-proof let
us know.
How could it happen? By not enforcing a strong password policy is one way.
Perhaps
a user called joe with a password of joe. Once a hacker finds something like
that he's
in your machine and the rest is simple. Make your users choose strong
passwords.

Hello all,

how is it possible for anybody to get the passwd file form a RaQ ? Is this a
RaQ1 problem or can this also happen on a RaQ2 ?
