  14. Re:This is constantly misunderstood on Data Security on Windows Machines? · · Score: 1
    Sure, linux has labels. There are other MAC implementations out there. I think it's part of the "St. Jude" model - I may be wrong here.

    The management of MAC is just awful on Linux. It could be awful on WinServ2K3 - who knows? It is almost undocumented at this point.

    The big fun is the distributed/directory-enabled use of MAC. I don't want to think of the difficulty involved to do this on Linux MAC with Ext3 attributes/OpenLDAP/Kerb5/OpenSSL/Kame-derived IPSec, etc... It is not practical until a distro can roll this up with good installation defaults, role templates and management tools.

    This is where - other arguments left aside - Windows will be more capable and mature.

    Server 2003 now supports labels for security - and is in the early stages of being able to implement MAC (Mandatory Access Controls).

    That is one aim of "Trusted Systems".

    Sure! I wouldn't do this on my "production" box either...

    Whichever of these three notebooks that is!

    Seriously, I already have putty and mindterm and VanDyke's stuff around. They do a good job for interactive use - but they are not part of a full shell environment for scripting. Yes, I know you can script that stuff, but every one works differently from the other - and the glue around it is MS-Batch or another WSH hosted syntax that works on the specific install you happen to have...

    Pipe a series of command to a remote machine, and iterate it with a client-side counter - in putty! Sometimes cygwin pays off. We'll see if there can be enough user-land eventually built for SFU to make the switch... It is beaucoup faster!

    Under SP2 beta 1, Any call from the cygwin network code will core the calling application. ssh and wget and ftp and CPAN all broke on my box.

    Fortunately, the uninstallation makes heavy use of system-restore points, and seems to leave no residue!

    With SP2, I also had problems with Services for Unix 3.5, but this may have been unrelated...
