This is very common for "appliance" system, whether they are based on Windows or some other OS.
We used to have a nuynber of Fiery print controllers that were actually Windows 2000 machines, but they could not be modified by installing additional software or even patches. Only signed executables will run on them. Similaryly, our SAN cluster nodes all run a variant of FreeBSD on Xeon processors, but again, only signed code will run unless you want to replace the entire software stack. Vendors have to do that to ease support, especially for something that needs to be highly reliable like a SAN or highly audited like a time clock. -- RPM _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
