Barber, Chris wrote: My vote would be for SecurePlatform. Repost from November: I fear I'll have to object strongly. The so-called "SecurePlatform" is based on an old RH without security-updates or -fixes. For example OpenSSHD is supplied in the older remote-rootable version 3.1 and the kernel is an ancient version 2.4.9 considered beta. Updates or fixes are not available. In fact, installing or updating any packages will void CKP support (according to upstream support). Consequently support for RH's Up2Date was removed from the package. IMHO: No updates is *not* good. Serious holes and no updates is bad. Officially shipping and serious holes and no updates is ... ...grossly negligent? ...intent?
Volker Tanger IT-Security Consulting PS: My personal opinion, not necessarily my employer's (official one). We will keep on hardenening RH for CKP installation by ourselves, though.... -- discon gmbh Wrangelstraße 100 D-10997 Berlin fon +49 30 6104-3307 fax +49 30 6104-3461 [email protected] http://www.discon.de/ ================================================= To set vacation, Out Of Office, or away messages, send an email to [email protected] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [email protected] =================================================
