- Hi all,
-
- Thanks for your previous response (Ken) but it's only
- encouraging me :^)
-
- How well is security handled by Isis? I know about the
- authentication necessary for joining, or becoming a client of
- a group (presenting "credentials"), and about the remote
- execution password requirements (a la UNIX), but are there any
- other useful security mechanisms built in? Does Isis do anything
- to protect the RPCs from being replayed or edited?
-
- Also, is there any time service available on Isis?
-
- Thanks,
-
- Barry.
