I know. They try to find out if that installation is vulnerable,
what's running and so on.

What do you think would have happened if Evert did not read Bugtraq
and applied the patch? Do you think they would send him an email like
"Hey Evert, you have a funky version of Les Visiteurs installed. 
Consider
a patch or use another maintained software for your purpose".
I don't really think so, but I can be completely wrong as I
mentioned before.

First of all: I neigther call them hackers nor kiddies. Second: For me
it doesn't really matter if they (or whoever) call themself "XfTeam" or
"XFree Team" or "Bastard Brownies from Hell", I was refering to the
self advertised website defacements, no matter how they did it and whose
exploits they use.

I blamed the ppl trying to exploit this vulnerability, not Evert, 
because
it's interessting to see, at least for me it is.

Ahh, gotcha now. You simply misunderstood the intention of the other
posts. Guess we talk at cross purposes ...
