One thing a lot of people are forgetting is that for some government uses, software *MUST* be certified to a security level. http://www.dynamoo.com/orange/summary.htm I remember a few years ago, MS claimed NT met some Orange book security level. However, in order to do so, it had to be installed on a specific computer model, with no removable media, network or other outside connectivity. In short, it was pretty much a useless box, but it got the security rating. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
