- I've heard people complain about the security-unconcious daemons that
- ship with NeXTSTEP 2.1, but are they improved in 3.0 to the point
- where people won't have to try and compile someone else's daemons
- sources?
-
- And while I'm asking this, does 3.0 come with the changes that they
- say are 'secure' versus 2.1 insecure features (the things I'm speaking
- of are listed in the SysAdmin manual)? Why, if these things are
- known, would NeXT choose to ship insecure machines?
-
- Thanks for your input.
