Look, I'm sorry if some of the people I get involved with don't fit your world view, but that's just the point - different organisations need different solutions. We have more than one network. Is that beyond belief ? Jesus, there are still people out there using manual typewriters because they're worried that TEMPEST isn't good enough. We keep up to date by having a group of people employed just to keep us up to date. We don't use remote encrypted disks because we own a server farm with a SAN attached to it. In one of the installations I've worked for we maintained security by *shooting* anyone who tried to read our data. Did it ever traverse a network ? No it did not. Horses for courses. This is, I think, one of the reasons that Open Source is so hard to get accepted - there's a whole sector of the advocacy base that just can't get it's head around different people having different needs. jd -- John Daragon argv[0] limited Lambs Lawn Cottage, Staple Fitzpaine, Taunton, TA3 5SL, UK v +44 (0) 1460 234068 f +44 (0) 1460 234069 m +44 (0) 7836 576127 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
