Samo edna *malka* podrobnost... v slu4aq problema ne e na Linux-PAM developers 
(verno 4e ima fixes seki mesec, i seka distro go patch-va i sled tova i tova 
e predelno qsno - devel->support->devel->support, edni sa po-ka4estveni, 
drugi ne sa), a problema e v code ot openssh (portable branch) kojto 
interactva s pluggable auth module-to, ga ima PAM installed, i mozhe i da ne 
e Linux PAM, stoto BSD-tata si imat sobstveni implementacii. 

ina4e ako izleze security bug za qmail i vsi4ko drugo kakvoto ne se 
distributira sys Slackware, to Slackware kato ditributor ste e safe stoto ne 
go distributira po edna ili druga pri4ina. Syseda (pensioner) systo nema 
grizhi s software security bugs stoto nema nito hardware, nito software kojto 
da zavisi ot nego ;-) . Ot druga strana izlizat security fixes za wu-ftpd, 
proftpd (pak opluvani, ne 4ak do tam zasluzheno) i t.n. i i ot Slackware kato 
distributor update-vat packages (SSA:2003-259-03) i sendmail i t.n. Absolutno 
v reda na nestata - ima problem reshava se - open source world pone e byrz i 
efektiven v tova otnoshenie i potrebitelite sa otnositelno (dostaty4no?) v 
4as s updates/upgrades. Taka 4e ne razbiram kakvo se meri v krajna smetka.
