That's exactly my point.  I don't necessarily approve of this list being 
used to help clueless script kiddies r00t systems, but the information 
needed to accomplish that feat is *identical* to the the information 
needed by clueless sysadmins to prevent against it.

What if I had been the original poster, and had phrased my question from 
the standpoint of a system administrator requesting help in hardening a 
Windows 2003 server that has to be physically accessible?  Would you 
have "seen through my ploy" and not helped me?

This list is about helping people who are interested in computer 
security get *better* at computer security.  I don't see how we can 
maintain that double standard without causing more harm than good.
