Re: [cobalt-security] SUN don't care about security update ?

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ladies, and Gents...

It's time to close off this thread.

The RaQ is obviously not as secure as some of you would like it, out of
the box.

Okay, it's not as secure as most of us would like it, out of the box.

It's probably even reasonable to say it's not secure out of the box. 
Period.

So what are we going to do about it?

Starting April 1st we're going to be selling a pretty good security
package for your RaQ3 and RaQ4.

So now it's time to start a new thread, screaming at me for reporting
I'm filling a need.

Let's cut the thread now; it's lost whatever purpose it had.  Either
learn how to secure your RaQ, live with it's insecurity, sell it to
someone else, junk it, give it away to a charity and take the deduction,
or hire someone to fix it.

I can think of a bunch of us on this very list who will be happy to do
it for you.  Including me <wry grin>.
