This is lamest excuse I have ever heard, and just shows Sun's complete lack
of competance as far as the Cobalts go, or at least lack of willingness to
put the proper resources into it. I used to work for a company that made
infrastructure equipment for telecommunications carriers (Sprint, Verizon,
Voicestream, etc). These products were way more complicated than the Cobalt
and we had no problem releasing timely patches that worked. The fact is that
the Cobalt is a simple product - a basic linux box with a web gui. Sun takes
a month or more to release security patches that other Linux vendors release
in hours.


Because they don't understand how Linux works... they only know Slowaris....



I don't care about having all the latest and greatest features, I don't care
if third party software runs on the box, but security issues MUST be
resolved as soon as they are known. Sun is failing miserably on this.

When are we going to get a patch for /usr/lib/authenticate?
Well sun is taking after microsoft.... they are emulating the one company they hate the most... why??? you guess is as good as mine.
