Dynamic configuration of servers is a great boon to integrated hardware/software suppliers who want to control their customers' configurations. (What company doesn't want to control its customers?) If not the supplier company, then some political authority. The allowed configurations are/will be stored in the cloud where the customer/sysadmin can't touch them or even know that they exist. A scary paranoid thought. But paranoids can have friends who want to protect them from the knowledge that they are not in control. -- Paul E Condon [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
