: I just saw the SCO Internet access server mentioned in one of the trade
: journals.  Anyone want to comment on how secure it is?  Thanks.

usual disclaimer: my opinions based on looking at a pre-release version, i 
don't speak for the company, etc.

it is no more (or less) secure than SCO's current TCP offering (stop giggling 
at the back !).  it is intended that the internet service provider interface 
will provide any required security, ie. a screening cisco or some such.  
various tcp_wrappers are known to work with SCO, and they could be applied as 
appropriate.  there has been some discussion about providing better security 
at some later point.

dave.
