[Malvern] Root-kits in Linux.

Hi gang.

A recent news item suggests that compromised Linux (and not Windows) 
boxes are being used to control bot-nets.

It seems that the offending code is well-written, and has exploited 
vulnerabilities which had not been patched.

I imagine that all distros are not equally immune or equally susceptible.

Any ideas ?
