Explanation: I wanted to emphasize the fact, the everybody at SUNW had been fully aware of those risks. I mean, if they even provided walkthrough's covering this. But they required 5 years to fix this, odd. That's why I mentioned that guide. That quick guide is of course no replacement for proper books like "Solaris Security" from Prentice Hall. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
