Giving Root to the WebGiving Root to the WebPosted Feb 27, 2003 9:01 UTC (Thu) by beejaybee (guest, #1581)Parent article: Giving Root to the Web Heigh ho. It's enough of a struggle persuading people to run Windows Update; the chances of getting anyone to upgrade firmware in network switches, print hubs etc. are just about non-existent. These things really need to be firewalled so that (at least) the admin ports are invisible from any place you don't _really_ trust. Of course the problem is that your firewall is likely to have an insecure web-based admin port as well :-( At least with an open-source firewall you can definitively disable the damn thing. If that's inconvenient, then tough. Is it convenient to have your whole network compromised?

Get that VPN online? Posted Feb 27, 2003 13:15 UTC (Thu) by ronaldcole (guest, #1462) [Link] As a Red Hat user, I've had to hand-roll mppe/pptp VPN into every kernel update from RedHat since version 6.2! Red Hat should have had a VPN (pptp or ipsec) in their distro for the last two years...
