Nice try, but I imagine they mean stock Linux, OpenBSD, AIX, Solaris, ... and Windoze do not have the security features they are talking about. I'm not an expert, but this stuff they are talking about has to with access controls and careful data flow protection way down in the kernel. They are not making any changes to the application that run on Linux/Unix. Sun has Trusted Solaris (www.sun.com/trustedsolaris) which I believe is in the same ballpark. I'm sure the other Unix vendors have similar offerings. ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
