Hi Wayne,
I agree with Charlie. I knew about some of the holes that get exposed when
FP is installed, but I didn't realized that my linux box could be exposed to
worms like Code Red (I&II), etc.
Just a quick question though... Whistle's Interjet and Sun Cobalt's Qube3
both include FP extentions on their units, has anybody heard about FP
extention security breaches on their products?
It appears that the Qube3 is not affected by the Code Red worm... so I
wonder what their developers know that we don't... :-)
Anyway, let's just leave it at that. Wayne, please do send me the RPM's...
I would still like to take a look at them (and verify that code red affects
FP Ext.).
Thanks,
Trev.

Trevor, after seeing this note from Charlie I feel like sending you an
Apache rpm setup to work with FP 2000 extensions would be like sending
out a mail bomb... :)
Have you considered using FrontPage with an e-smith server without
installing the extensions? You can set the compatibility options in FP
so it will work with an "extension free" Unix box. For more info check
out:

Perhaps this approach would give you everything you're looking for, and
it can also produce pages that are more browser-neutral.
Let me know if you still want the email bomb.
