There was a comment that one company was in the midst of implementing a secure system , using the corba security model, which has SecurityContexts , sounding like the terminology used in ipsec (security associations). From the reading above, it seems like something really basic was missed in the protocol specification (not requiring aknowledgement of security context change messages during a message exchange to change security contexts) of the 1.0 protocol version, leading to implementations doing whatever they liked to fix this problem, and breaking interoperability. So it's nice to know the big guys get it wrong, and are still in the process of having to revise what they are doing, so we're not really that far behind . BTW, as an example of obvious defects in applications, I hate how gv and kghostview doesn't let you select text if pdf docs for copying and pasting into emails for discussion, while xpdf can. _______________________________________________ Gnumed-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumed-devel
