No.
The problem is with windows, and belongs to a windows group.

Even  security problems  related to  linux  are borderline  here, there  are
mailing lists dedicated to those subjects. The  svlug list isn't meant to be
your one stop shop, get it all here mailing list.

BTW, as  a general  statement, when  Rick says something  like this,  do not
think he is  the only one thinking  that, if there is only  one message it's
only because he  posted first, and people  who agree with him  don't see the
point of posting 5 more messages to say that he's right.
