Kernel 2.6 *almost* trojaned

[JoeHill]

>From Newsforge:

" In a stunning verification of Eric S. Raymond's open source adage,
"Many eyes make all bugs shallow," an attempt to place malicious
"backdoor" code in the Linux kernel 2.6 development tree was detected
and rejected almost immediately."

One thing that occurred to me, thinking about Eric's adage, there are
really *no* eyes on the Windows "kernel" (or whatever you call it). How
many unknown/deliberate backdoors could be in *there*?

Nasrudin walked into a teahouse and declaimed, "The moon is more useful
than the sun."
	"Why?", he was asked.
	"Because at night we need the light more."
