This is not an attempt at spam. I'm on this list, and use FreeBSD at home and in the office. This is also not endorsed by ISS. I doubt they will take any responsibility for the product when modified as suggested below. Flames can be directed to /dev/null. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 20:22:48 -0400 (EDT) From: Hoss Firooznia <hfir@math.rochester.edu> To: support@iss.net Subject: ISS on FreeBSD Hello ISS support folks, I work as a System Administrator at the University of Rochester and I'm currently evaluating your Intranet Security Scanner product for use on FreeBSD systems. I realize that you don't directly support FreeBSD, but I can confirm that it is possible to run the Linux version of ISS on FreeBSD versions 3.1 and up. I wanted to let you know what steps were necessary to get the scanner working properly in case this information is of use to you or your customers.
