I agree with Bruce Schneier on this one -- this seems like a really bad idea.
I'm not sure I see why. Here's the original article that everyone seems to be pointing back to: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1979231,00.asp That article says "a system administrator can go into a console and define a list of Web sites and applications that are preapproved." If the ActiveX control isn't on the whitelist, Vista falls back to asking for an administrator login to install a new ActiveX control. So, what's the problem? Is it just a distaste for ActiveX controls in general? -- Jerry _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
