Thanks for the update. I still don't see what in that flashy web site (please excuse the pun) promises that nobody but authorised personnel will gain access to your servers. E.g. See SAS-70 requirements for data centre access control: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAS_70 or maybe better: http://sas70.com/sas70_overview.html The point that I took from Hetz' blog, and I'm saying too, is that the organisation can hand wave as much as it like about "secure facilities" but if there are no repercussions for its employees failing to follow security procedures (like it losing its SAS-70 certification) then it's meaningless. --Amos _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
