What gives you the impression that Sun responds to their big iron any quicker?? I have been working with (true) Sun equipment since 1995 on low end LX's and IPX's all the way up to E10000's. One of the first things I do to any Sun system exposed to the internet is to disable un-necessary services and then to replace Sun's binaries with the latest open source replacements. Exposed services typically will include ftp, sendmail, DNS (bind), etc. Sun is almost always very far behind in the versions of software on Solaris, even fully patched. > >> much deleted here Jerry _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
