Juniper does not have any pre-defined host checks, such as for a software 
firewall or anti-virus for platforms other than Windows. They do let you check 
for specific files and running processes on Macs and Linux so you can create 
your own.

Yep. We have some Mac users running the Microsoft RDP client for the Mac (a 
free download) and using the Java functionality to RDP to Windows boxes. They 
also use Network Connect for SSH to the Linux boxes.

Agreed. It's very odd behavior on their part. Even worse, if you have hundreds 
of SecureClient licenses as we did, they make you buy new licenses for 
SecureClient for the Mac. This kind of nickel-and-dime behavior really sours 
management on their products.
