But telling the IT guys to allow all downloads from that server to his machine to be cleared achieves the same end. It means not using the opensuse dowload link, but a fixed mirror.
Yes but their scanner would probably still block many other harmless files. Just annoying for users. BTW if IT security policy does not allow files with "certain" content then they should be straight. If they would whitelist http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/ they they explicitly allow downloading "viruses". Any person on earth is somehow able to upload everything to that ftp mirror. So if the scanner is to restrictive then they have to fix it rather than whitelisting any server. Actually it could be that some companies have the policy to not allow _any_ 3rd party executables neither via download, nor email nor USB-Sticks. If they want to whitelist something then they should better whitelist per user, trust "roger" or "root"(zypper). cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
