There are, but just opening one won't do any damage.
It is hard to get a virus when you have to:
(save file)
$ chmod +x file
$ ./file

I also get 'antivirus warning report' type subjects from the grex MAILERDAEMON
which I presume is also a forget from address. Can't check, it already went
to /dev/null.

There was, for a while, a buffer overflow bug in Pine that would allow a
specially-crafted email message to execute arbitrary code. I don't know
of any worms that successfully exploited it, though.

resp:242, 245: Sindi: yeah, those are going around, null emails which
claim to be "From:" the address receiving them. I have a few and
have reports of others. What this means is that the Quality Assurance
department in Virusland is slacking off on the job; you have received
the output from an incompetently written virus.

While telnetting in late last night, with minimal activity over a span of ~3
hours, I lost my connection 3 or 4 times. Is that acceptable for a system
such as grex? If not, is this situation chronic? Correctable? Something
that would be in any way better under nextgrex?

Re resp:255: It looks like it's going to be chronic until someone on
staff has time to fix it.

Macdonalds is humiliating? And what does this have to do with system problems
? I just got booted again.

re 270, then why don't you take a stab at repeating it? I don't think I can
summarized it that succintly.

If it wasn't a case of the DSL nastiness kicking in just after you said it,
kicking us off *straight after* saying "ok, i'm knocking hte DSL users off,
sorry", was damned rude. People will have been attempting tel's and suchlike.

Not sure what to say twenex, I sent out the wall announcing that it
would be happening a few minutes before and then sent one more and it
was probably 45 seconds after the "knocking" message in party that I
went over to the wall and unplugged the DSL modem.
Sorry that happened.
