Oklahoma city threatens to call FBI over 'renegade' Linux maker
Friday 24th March 2006

The heartland turned vicious this week when an Oklahoma town threatened to call in the FBI because its web site was hacked by Linux maker Cent OS. Problem is CentOS didn't hack Tuttle's web site at all. The city's hosting provider had simply botched a web server.

This tale kicked off yesterday when Tuttle's city manager Jerry Taylor fired off an angry message to the CentOS staff. Taylor had popped onto the city's web site and found the standard Apache server configuration boilerplate that appears with a new web server installation. Taylor seemed to confuse this with a potential hack attack on the bustling town's IT infrastructure.

"Who gave you permission to invade my website and block me and anyone else from accessing it???," Taylor wrote to CentOS. "Please remove your software immediately before I report it to government officials!! I am the City Manager of Tuttle, Oklahoma"...

full story: The Register


The full Tuttle v. CentOS exchange is quite amusing.

That's funny. Even if untrue, it's still funny. Although the last line should have read "This is a lighthouse. Your call, eh".

The funniest part is that as of today, they have yet to fix the problem.

A quick visit to Jerry Taylors bio page suggests that he has enough trouble composing a cogent sentence let alone configuring a web server.
