Heh. That's a questionable statement, at best:
http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-9069/product_id-16058/D.j.bernstein-Djbdns.html
> Total number of vulnerabilities : 3
http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-64/product_id-144/ISC-Bind.html
> Total number of vulnerabilities : 72
BTW, was it totally irrational of me to be so chuffed to see CGF using the
term "administering" a server rather than "administrating"? I really dislike
the latter usage.
cheers,
