Microsoft's SMB2 and CIFS networking are pathetic attempts at making the networking protocol incompatible with other implementations. But at a higher level, if anyone can open a table, index or database container with a hex editor and twiddle the bits, there's no assurance the bits on disk are what your application wrote. Cryptolocker and their ilk means malicious software can steal or destroy your data. And well-meaning users who want to clean up their disk by deleting all those temporary files -- the ones with the FPT extension, for example -- are yet another nightmare. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4tkp7oiarrk+8mrfuj4-_mxrjrbs4rti_anw2vt3xn...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
