[lug] one of my favorite ways to secure a system

Just read the last line:

"Microsoft Warns of Vulnerability in Windows 2000"
InformationWeek Online (05/02/01); Hulme, George V. 
Microsoft is advising users of Windows 2000 to install a patch or to disable
Internet Information Services (IIS) version 5.0 because of a "extremely
serious" design flaw that makes the software open to being hacked. A hacker
could compromise any platform that runs the software because of an
uninspected buffer, says Scott Culp, program manager at Microsoft security
response center. He says IIS enables printing from the Web; turning the
system off also protects the system.
