Anthony : Hmmm... I getting the feeling that we might want to be on the
lookout for security problems...
Alain : I am indeed aware of the security risk that this poses. This
temporary vulnerability is nevertheless the most expedient way to get
things up-and-running quickly.
Alain : Besides, the G3 that I am giving access to does not contain any
sensitive data that would be worth absconding with or maliciously
destroying. So far anyway, eh ! And everything is backed up regularly
and stored in a safe place, apart from the computers.
Alain : My other server -- the server that is currently hosting the UFP
and OODL collaboration systems -- is another matter, and that is
precisely why I did not want to give anyone access to it. The above
collaboration systems will be soon be ported to the G3. One server
should suffice.
