Its pronounced/spelled " BoKS "
It is a product by Dynasoft Ltd. of Sweeden.
The U.S. distributor is Securix Inc. Out of San Francisco.
I can track down a phone number or contact for anyone interested.
The product does MainFrame-like access controls on a network.
The granularity is at both the user as well as system level, thus,
you can restrict userA to only be allowed to use ftp to systems D, E, and F.
While userB can use rlogin *to* system "G" but not *out* of system "G".
Some very interesting configuration/access control examples come to mind....
