It's much as someone on the list predicted at the time of the Windows ``I
Love You'' virus-- when the Linux viruses come along,, they will
*necessarily* be more robust, and more dangerous.  Fortunately, the Linux
community is very security conscious.

However, why is this one being called a ``Linux virus?''  Surely it will
affect any Unix server running the pre-fix Bind?
