depends on which part of the .edu CAN you are talking about: 1) the student (isp-slash-riaa violation) side 2) the student private (firpa) side 3) the business (pci, local-slash-fed regs) side 4) the research side if you get pwned in the student-maintained phpbb site, no big deal if you get hit by a riaa lawsuit in the resnet, no big deal if yer old ass oracle-slash-peoplesoft app gets hit: big deal such is life -JP _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
