That's a very narrow view of the comment. There are netware networks run really well, and there are those that are not. I don't care what people use, but the end result is the same. What I want them to do is keep track of their network, the changes to it, and approve the changes to it. If they do that, then security is a by-product. If they don't, then we will continually be chasing 'top 20' lists of security problems, rather than designing networks that compensate for these issues.
Zen is pretty cool, and is really nifty for patch management... but I thought the whole thread was anti-patch management. :P
The zen reference goes to shops who have implemented these procedures. They often have less admins in general, less reliance on security tools, .etc. Some of the networks with the highest uptimes only patch once a year. The point is that if you know what is on your network and how it is being used, you can mount a succsesful strategy without trying to patch everything, which was Toby's original question.
