Are you trying to say that a dumb idea is less dumb if it's a FORTUNE 500's dumb idea?
I just mean a complex network. A Fortune 500 has a more complex network than ACME Corporation and a Fortune 100 has a more complex network than a Fortune 500 and surely Bush has a more complex network than a Fortune 100, so to process all that Google logs...
You know what? I think remote GUI administration using a bloated bucket of crap like X windows is a dumb idea no matter whose it is.
But what do you think about a _local_ GUI administration (via X window) in a firewall? My question was: what is better (or worse), taking in account the GUI requeriment: a local X window server running in the firewall, to be managed localy(that is, no remote access) or a web server, ssh based system or another port based in a proprietary protocol, to be managed remotely? Or rephrasing the question: which is riskier? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
