No, you should be treated like lowlifes, you netowrk admins receive a monthly salary instead a single payment for installing a default configuration for a system or some kind of software...and as a result sites are hacked. So who`s guilty? The one who forgot a bug in some software? the guys who releases the exploit for that bug? or they guy who hacks the server and the administrator of that server?

When will some site will have the main article "Admin admits that he is not doin` his job"? ...you say there are, and yes there are, there are only excuses, no reasons, no explanations....hehe some lame message in /etc/motd of www.linux-support.net I received after I have rootkited 4 times in 2 weeks, was something like `When the heck will the cracking of this server will stop?`. Imagine...that server was hacked using a lame sshd deataching exploit (that was in december)..so you see how many months pasted untill then from the moment when the advisory was published.

So, who`s faults is it? The administrators? or those damn kidz again?

Referecnces: search packetstorm for `those damn kids again` or hacker etics.
