Maybe I'm misinterpretting the author's intent, but it doesn't just seem to be the author of this particular article. A great number of tech-news sites are covering this so-called issue this morning, and all of them are reporting essentially the same thing, that this is some sort of flaw. A misconfigured service is not a flaw, but rather a poorly thought-out security measure, and as is well known, there is no patch for human-stupidity. Either the sysadmin is competant or not. There is no half-way or grey-area where that is concerned. Either you know what you're doing or you don't, which *is* correctable provided the person on the receiving end of new training is competant enough to understand their training... otherwise, they're in the wrong line of work.
