Amazing how the USA thinks they are ahead of everyone else... ;)

[Jugalator]

as we've seen so many times this week,

opensource != secure

by any stretch of the imagination, in fact there are probably numerous untold exploits available for this software. Its just a matter of time, as with any opensource product.

Yeah, so let's use the alternative.

Windows servers.

Those are more secure I heard. :-P

No.

It means samba can function as your Bondage and Discipline Cop.

What happens is that if you fail to listen to your Primary Domain Controller, the Bondage and Discipline Cop steps in to beat and humiliate you until you submit creditentials to the proper authorities. Usually, this happens when you're standing in front of many people and attempting to get at Powerpoint slides you left on your client machine.

Egads a new holy war...

First it was VI vs. Emacs

Then, Gnome Vs. KDE

Now its MySQL Vs. Postgres

At least we are evolving from text editors and eye-candy to relational databases.
