Take the best tool for the job, based not only on software quality and price, but also on development time, available expertise and stuff that's already in place. In some cases that means you can build a totally open solution based on OSS. In other cases it means a closed solution based on Microsoft products for example. In most cases however it's a mix of multiple hardware and software platforms, in which OSS fits well because of the 'Open' part. I for one will recommend OSS most of the time (because of price, performance, managebility and stability), but there are a number of situations where a 'closed' piece of software is a better fit.

I know, had a similar nightmare. If that won't get you paranoid about security, nothing will. Gotta look into autorpm one of these days... Back to Zope!

If you love a vaporized head, switch to Java and be sure to pick Oracle's Internet Application Server to be your trustworthy companion on a steep learning curve. Can't go wrong with Oracle ;) I see a market for each product; Zope for content heavy, Java based stuff for transaction heavy stuff with legacy integration etc. As long as I don't have to go Java, I'd rather have .NET ;) Cya Jonathan ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
RE: [Zope] Zope and Linux flavors
> Which Linux distributions are you using for running Zope and how easy > it was for you to maximize security of your server? Red Hat Linux 6.2 here. After a standard install, download and install latest release of SSH. Open '/etc/inetd.conf', comment out all services. Save and do a 'killall -HUP inetd'. Do 'ntsysv' and disable everything you are not going to use on that machine (typically sendmail, nfslock, identd, portmap etc.). Reboot after that. That's what I do first. After that, get all the Red Hat updates from a nearby mirror. Install all, make sure you've got at least a 2.2.16 kernel. Rebooting is not gonna hurt, check what services are started as the machine boots. Get Bastille Linux (http://www.bastille-linux.org) and lock down the box, leaving only 22 and 80 open to the outside world. Well, maybe not that extreme but you get the drift :) Check '/etc/hosts.allow' and '/etc/hosts.deny' to make sure that only the absolute minimum of hosts is allowed access to the server. The latter should contain something like 'ALL: ALL'. That catches most of the script kiddies. Still won't stop a real cracker though, for that you need more. Much more. Read the various docs, keep a tab on updates at Red Hat, SANS, Bugtraq etc. And remember, only the paranoid survive in network security :) Other Linux distros are similar, but this is the one I know :) HTH Jonathan ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Zope.org does not know my particular installation, I cannot have it notify me when a new version is out. It doesn't automatically 'follow' dependencies etc. etc. Lots of reasons, mainly motivated by laziness^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H me not having the time to keep up with everything, I want to be informed automatically :) Cya Jonathan ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Somebody has to own the domain :) I'm got space available for a CZAN mirror if necessary. It might be something that benefits the Python community as a whole, not just Zope users, in which case 'CZAN' is not entirely correct ;) But hey, let's start somewhere right? Such a product would allow users to access CZAN from within the Zope Interface and work a bit like MS' Windows Update (if you're not familiar with it, it rules for upgrading Windows machines over the Internet). Install new products, new versions, hotfixes. Upgrade Zope itself. Integrate with ZEO etc. to upgrade clusters of machines all at once... Just thinking out loud here :) Anyone from DigiCool care to comment? How much of it is already in the pipeline?

[Zope] CZAN Anyone?
Hi all, Does anyone have any plans for CPAN like functionality for Zope? I'd just love to install new products, update products already installed, get notified when I need a Hotfix etc. The product listing at Zope.org is getting longer all the time and I am having a hard time keeping up to date... Just a thought.

Uncle Jonathan's Magic Zope Recipe is here ;) - Get a binary release of Zope and unpack into /usr/local for example. - Install Apache if you haven't got it already. - Do a search for 'apache' on Zope.org and locate the proxypass howto. - Read and implement proxypass.

[Zope] SAP DB with Zope?
Hi all, Will be testing it myself shortly, but has anyone already hooked up Zope to SAP DB? It has been open sourced recently, and there are Python interfaces available (as well as Perl, JDBC, PHP, ODBC and C/C++). For those who are not familiar with it: it's a high end database used for example with SAP R/3 and has its roots in ADABAS D.
