Heh. I often wonder the utility of trying to limit functionality of a useful piece of software in the name of policy/security. I have seen this being done numerous times in an attempt to appease/impress some customers or higher management. IMHO, trying to lock down features/functionalities only has net impact on the end-user productivity and just makes people look for ways to outsmart them. I am not implying that security should not be paid attention to. On the contrary, if there has to be a lockdown, then it should be comprehensive. When I see your emails coming from gmail (assuming you were at work at the time) and this discussion about trying to limit file transfer features.. it just seems.. contradictory. No offense to you or your company but that's just how it seems. -- Manish _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
