It might be Code Red or Nimba, Do those viruses affect linux, or only Windows NT and 2000?? [This message has been edited by marf (edited 10-08-2003).]

I'm getting pretty annoyed by all those scans they infected machines do to find other, infectable machines... which of course hit a linux webserver as well.
