Security is, as we all know, a noble goal for which people are willing to pay. In this case there seems to be no real security issue (other than plugging some very silly user-interface holes of Explorer). The goal is generally reducing management costs of workers misconfiguring their station. There is an obvious tradeoff to the fact that people have less freedom to customize their working environment. Here is a related issue: Debian hes several packages of extensions for mozilla products. But normally the standard way to install extensions is to download from the browser. For each user. For each user. For each user. Again and again. Last time I asked on #debian how do I make a deb out of an extension I was discourged and sugested to install extensions manually for users. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
