I'm looking for information about possible security pitfalls lurking in
Hyper-G that require a non-trivial understanding to avoid.

Someone here is interested in our setting up a mirror for a European
Hyper-G site.  I'm a bit concerned about the idea of setting up a
Hyper-G server for one application and then ignoring it, since I know
that our other servers require careful configuration and regular
updates to avoid sometimes subtle security problems.

Thanks for any light you can shed.  And for basic information on
Hyper-G, see:
