And the "Analog Kid" should be aware that his Red Hat Linux 7 system is
fairly outdated and heavily insecure if he did not install security
updates by hand. Just the OpenSSH part got his last security update

06/27/2002 !

with openssh-server-3.1p1-5.i386.rpm

It is a wonder if such a box public reachable isn't rooted already. This
said as a friendly warning. At least an upgrade to Fedora Legacy Project
supported RH7.3 is highly recommended to get security fixed packages.
