Re: Security (maybe basic) question

Based on your e-mail address, can we assume you are an
HP employee?  I don't have a paper to reference for you
as you asked but an example I can think of - HP Web
JetAdmin is a good application but installs Apache I think
on the machine it is on - what happens when Apache vulns.
are discovered, are manufacturers on top of issuing patches
for embedded code or even notifying customers?  I think
Dell's OpenManage uses Apache also? what average admin.
is even keeping track of that stuff?

my $.02
