<p>FOR RELEASE ON August 17, 2000</p>
<p>Tenon's iTools for Mac OS X Server Updated</p>
<p>A FREE update to a suite of tools that dramatically simplifies Apache<br />
configuration & maintenance for Macintosh webmasters</p>
<p>Santa Barbara, CA, August 17, 2000. Tenon Intersystems today announced a<br />
FREE update of iTools for Mac OS X Server. Tenon's iTools, an Apache web<br />
server toolsuite for Mac OS X Server, has been available for over one year<br />
and is being used worldwide for secure, commercial web service. Tenon's<br />
point and click interface to Apache, DNS, and FTP shields Mac webmasters<br />
from the UNIXyness of Apache, but does not hinder UNIX-savvy webmasters<br />
from directly accessing Apache configuration files or from incorporating<br />
standard Apache modules if they so choose. This makes iTools the best of<br />
both worlds - an easy-to-use configuration and management tool for<br />
Macintosh webmasters, with the full strength and capability of Apache.</p>
<p>The just released FREE iTools update supports Apache 1.3.12, the best<br />
version of the popular Apache web server currently available. In addition,<br />
the new iTools update includes an SSL package that supports the latest<br />
versions of OpenSSL 1.9.5a and mod_SSL 2.6.4. mod_ssl combines the<br />
flexibility of Apache with the security of OpenSSL to provide strong<br />
encryption for eCommerce.</p>
<p>The iTools virtual FTP server in this new release has been updated in<br />
response to a CERT security advisory. CERT, the leading network security<br />
watchdog group on the Internet, announced a security hole in wu-ftpd<br />
(Washington University FTP Daemon) - the FTP server included with iTools -<br />
that would allow a malicious user to execute code with administrator<br />
privileges. The new iTools package includes the latest wu-ftpd 2.6.1, from<br />
the wu-ftpd development group, that eliminates this vulnerability.</p>
<p>In addition to an updated FTP server package, a new version of PHP, the<br />
leading Internet scripting tool, has been included. PHP 4.0.1, patch level<br />
2, supports the complete range of CGI functions, such as collecting form<br />
data, generating dynamic page content, and sending and receiving cookies.<br />
This new PHP iTools package now includes dynamic support for creating JPEG,<br />
PNG and TIFF image files and streams using Boutell.com's gd graphics<br />
library for fast image creation. Also bundled in the PHP package as a<br />
dynamic module is PDFlib 3.0.1, which allows for PDF creation and display<br />
on-the-fly, along with incorporation of image formats into PDF documents.<br />
The new PHP4 package also supports compression and decompression of files<br />
on-the-fly, as well as the ability to run PHP3 and PHP4 code at the same<br />
time. Support for the popular MySQL database, real-time FTP connections,<br />
and variable tracking is also implemented.</p>
<p>Another addition to Tenon's popular iTools package is the inclusion of<br />
mod_perl, to further enhance the Perl 5 support that is part of OS X<br />
Server. With mod_perl it is possible to write Apache modules entirely in<br />
Perl. Moreover the embedded mod_perl interpreter avoids the overhead of<br />
starting an external Perl interpreter and the penalty of Perl start-up<br />
time. Also included, to make WebObjects support even easier, is the latest<br />
Apache WebObjects Adaptor (version 4.5), extended with the basic WebObjects<br />
directives pre-configured into the iTools Apache configuration file.</p>
<p>This update is FREE to all iTools customers. Tenon recommends that all<br />
iTools customers apply this update. The update is downloadable from the<br />
Tenon web site: <a href="http://www.tenon.com/products/itools" title="http://www.tenon.com/products/itools">http://www.tenon.com/products/itools</a>. iTools is $495.<br />
Macintosh webmasters, whether they are using Tenon's WebTen or 4D's WebSTAR<br />
on Mac OS can purchase a "sidegrade" to iTools for OS X Server for only<br />
$350. All of these new features will be part of an upcoming Mac OS X<br />
package to be released early in 2001.</p>
<p>While some Mac webmasters are waiting for Mac OS X, Tenon's iTools<br />
customers are already taking advantage the preemptive multitasking and<br />
memory protection of Apple's next-generation OS. Because Apache is serving<br />
content for over 8 million worldwide web sites, Tenon recommends that<br />
Macintosh webmasters get familiar with Apache today, even if they decide<br />
not to move content from their production servers until OS X is available.<br />
Starting with Tenon's iTools is the easiest path to becoming Apache-savvy.</p>
<p>Macintosh webmasters can purchase a G4 webserver with OS X Server 1.2 from<br />
the online Apple Store, or find links to online retailers for the<br />
shrinkwrapped version of OS X Server 1.2 at Tenon's website.</p>
<p>Founded in 1989, Tenon Intersystems is a leader in high-performance<br />
networking. Apple's OS X, coupled with the new G4 processors and Tenon's<br />
iTools, provides the foundation for world-class content delivery. Tenon<br />
