Home to as many as 200 websites or a single, powerful dedicated server. If you're a service provider, the Sun Cobalt RaQT server appliance is the alternative to "big iron" servers. The Sun Cobalt RaQ server appliance includes everything you need to begin hosting now.
A direct quote from Cobalts website. You see the last bit "everything you need to begin hosting now". Well read that as "everything you need provided you don't need it to be secure and don't mind if it gets hacked within 24 hours" I bought a RAQ4 it's the first server I ever bought, I new nothing about Linux, servers, dns, nothing. I bought it to host websites for my small business. Within one week of subscribing to this list, reading manuals, researching on the web, I realised that it is totally insecure. I had bought a car without breaks, a house without doors, I might as well have left it lying in the street with a sign on it saying "nick me". Since that time I have had to learn vary quickly all about the security issues and thanks to many people on this list I think my server stays reasonably secure. My point is: had the advertising been honest, had it said on the box - "looks good, nice spec but open door to hackers" I never would have touched it. In English law a product must be fit to perform the purpose for which it is sold. The RAQ4 out of the box is not fit to host websites. __________________________________________ Simon _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
