| * As others have pointed out, the Java plugin is a major security hole, | a cross-platform equivalant of Active-X. Remove, or disable the | plugin. No, it isn't like Active-X. Totally different security model. Active-X: total trust in signed plug-ins Java: sandbox the application so that it isn't able to do unauthorized things. Unfortunately, the attack surface is large enough that there were likely and have been implementation failures. --- GTALUG Talk Mailing List - [email protected] http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
