Not Red Hat, Fedora. And it's not off by default either. It's disabled
for user applications, not root ones
and that is a problem
"user applications" can be any bad code executed by the user start
listening on the WAN - guess what is more likely
* get a rootkit opening privileged ports
* execute code by a careless user
mircosoft has learned their lessons after WinXP SP2 and Fedora goes the
opposite direction which is very sad
