OpenBSD ships with rstatd and ruserd enabled by default and according to http://www.openbsd.org/ "Four years without a remote hole in the default install!" Which begs the question, especially since the *BSD's release their sources under BSD style liscenses, why does rpc remain a security problem in Linux? Is it the kernel? Is it the rpc code?
