It's like that with Big Brother monitoring software and Snort if memory serves. Hopefully they won't use the Sun Microsystems view of things where Solaris is free but the patches are $400/year. That was a problem when the 2007 daylight saving time patches were needed. I doubt I'll be installing much more "free" Solaris as a result. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
