Hi gang.
Here's a slightly different type of question for you. A customer of our
internet file transfer product is getting flack from his corporate IT
department about putting a Mac on their network that is accessible from the
Internet. Their objections are somewhat vague but they are claiming that
Macs are more prone to DoS attacks than a Windows box.
This seems doubtful to me but I need some ammo I can fire back to counter
their claims. Can any one point me to some useful documents or information?
I'm assuming that since OT is based on the Mentat MPS product that it shares
the same problems as other MPS-based products such as NetWare, HP-UX, IBM
AIX, Compaq Tru64 Unix, etc.
Thanks for any help you can provide in keeping another Macintosh on the job!
:)

In the beginning there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box,
Jack boldly declared: Let there be house!
and house music was born.
I am, you see, I am the creator and this is my house!
And in my house there is only House music.
But I am not so selfish because once you enter my house
it then becomes OUR house and OUR house music!
