hi,
That will be the "second night the lights go out in... the Internet"
I find it rather interesting when penetration testing the diff between
linux, BSD, Solaris, and [N]ot [T]here that m$ constantly gets the worse
rating. So with all the changes blowing in the wind why dare to run it?
The only reason i see is that the people making the decisions are still
! the right people period. This appears to be the usual case with BB.
It should be obviously that something's wrong with the picture when 
paul allen's co is using linux rather than nt for its internet servers.
But you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. Just makes
for |less security as time flows on..
                                              Regards,
                                                     dreamwvr () dreamwvr com

What should you expect from the "Leader in Wintel security"?  NAI seems to
be consolidating all their software to NT or Solaris platforms, so
I'd expect to keep seeing this if I were you.  Just dread the day they
move to an all NT platform. :)
