Subject:   Frontpage Extensions - security and reliability assessment
Message-ID:  <DBEIKNMKGOBGNDHAAKGNKEHGIAAA.dave@hawk-systems.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Recently have had a few requests for frontpage support.  We are entirely FreeBSD
Server based and I dread the thought of installing an NT/2k Server on our
network to support these requests.

Reviewed Frontpage extensions and a myriad of security, reliability, and general
discontented reports.  Have also tracked down some helpful resources like the
rtr.com site.

The general feeling is that adding FP extensions is going to create a security
and support headache.

Looking for feedback, install suggestinos, particularly good resources, hacks,
patches, and anything else that may help us make an accurate judgement on this.

FreeBSD boxes for the most part have performed without a hitch under a wide
range of setups and hacks...  Would hate to comprimise this just to support a
few "developers" using a Micro$oft product.

TIA

Dave
