At a former employer I shall not name, one of the last things I did was build a new primary domain nameserver on a Sun Ultra5 that was so thoroughly hardened nmap's best guesses at its OS were Apple Laserwriter or ... I don't remember the other guess any more, actually. Something really obscure. BeOS, maybe. Then there was, literally, a coup on the board of directors. (I'm not kidding. The plotters took one of the other directors out, got him drunk, and got him to assign his proxy.) Overnight we had a new CEO, CFO, and CTO. The first order from the new CTO was "Everything not Windows is gone." And the first thing his newly appointed head of IT did was go into Active Directory and lock everything down so hard you couldn't even create a scratch file on your desktop. > People like Tom, and like other great guys behind high quality free > software, are a rarity to be valued.

Oh, I love the fact that all I need do is invoke a couple of macros and services like FTP and Jabber *Just Work*. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list Shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
