If only major software vendors delayed code to iron out the bugs, rather than shipping it on a date set twelve months ago regardless of the bug count.
I'm sure that having a stable DHCP installation is going to be important to all the cable modem users out there running FreeBSD, so this is clearly A Good Thing.
"Member States may only lift the protection of data privacy in order to conduct criminal investigations or safeguard national or public
security, when this is a 'necessary, appropriate and proportionate measure within a democratic society"
This sounds like the RIP (Regulation of Investigatory Powers) Act we've been subjected to in the UK. We were informed that the Government had these rights, but no amount of correspondance with politicians would get us a concrete answer as to what exactly 'necessary' and 'appropriate' were defined as in the Government's eyes.
It might be 'necessary' to violate our privacy to monitor all of our communications to safeguard National Security, for instance.
And the less said about Echelon the better.
Well, a great idea from the Chinese and Taiwanese inventors. Maybe they should email someone and tell them about it. Oh wait, they can't, because we've all blocked them for spamming us...
First, make sure you are squeaky clean. Double check your ACLs on the Debian box. At least your part of the LAN is safe then.
Secondly, document everything you can see wrong with the current infrastructure. Go into as much detail as you can - lack of ingress/egress, vulnerability of Win2K server, etc, etc. Compile a meaty report, and put your name on it.
Then, send a copy to everyone in the company remotely involved. If anyone at all listens, perhaps something will happen about it, if not, you get the last laugh when something bad does befall your company, especially as you will be straight in line for a security-related promotion.
Remember that its harder for someone to ignore something in writing than it is if you start a conversation in passing on the way to the coffee machine.
If you can gain written authority, consider running your own penetration test from an external location, or hire an inexpensive company to give you a quick once-over.
If only it compiled cleanly under Solaris ...

Anyone had any luck? I had to tweak a load of php_config.h definitions just to get it to compile (Solaris 8/Sparc), and then make install croaked...

no, but you might have if they hadn't delayed the release to test the new DHCP installation :-)
