I would actually be a "Sun Cobalt" person =). I found out that this
information won't be posted on our public knowledgebase due to the fact
that some of it is "dangerous" as such. This basically means if you
don't know what you are doing, you probably shouldn't since it may hose
your system. We won't (***and I say this in a personal way, not as a
company spokesperson***) be adding to our public info. Best suggestion
for you guys is to keep updating and "experimenting" with the upgraded
versions of software included in that article.

IMHO - some of these security measures should be added, especially in
light of a competitor's known security flaws.
