Dear All,
To clear up the speculation concerning RM and Linux:
- The RM Internet business (IFL) has run Linux since day one, i.e. over 5 years.
Since you want to clear up speculation, perhaps you could explain why your company felt it was necessary to lean on Becta to stop them `promoting' the use of OSS in schools.
- All the core services run under Linux with the exception of RM EasyMail and virtual web servers where users wish to use FrontPage extensions, which for commercial reasons run under NT.

- Owl is the only server on the IFL network that is open to telnet. It is required by a small number of developers who have a virtual web server on the machine and need more than FTP access. They are too mobile for us to restrict access using lists based on client IP address. Regular checks are made to ensure that owl has not been compromised and firewalls are in place to prevent it from being used to attack other hosts in the event that it is.
I guess you haven't heard of ssh. Now where's that clue-stick..... ;-) -- Frank *-------*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-------* | Boroughbridge | Tel: 01423 323019 | PGP keyID: 0xC0B341A3 | *-------*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-------* http://www.esperance.demon.co.uk/
