[cobalt-users] Security issues with FP2000 + Linux and apache mod

["jonathan" <jjma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi

I was discussing the beauties of the FrontPage extensions which were giving
trouble to a web site I was developing using fp ext on an NT server. I
phoned the tech dept, discussed fp extensions in detail on cross platforms
and he said that if using fp ext on a Linux system then there are serious
security issues. (He is a Linux man at heart with hosting support for NT and
Linux.)

My question:

Is the raq open to a potential hack because of FP extensions opening a back
door. Has anyone had FP on there server and pulled it when building a site
for eccomerce.

Is there any reason why FP extensions are included with the raq, I mean the
Raq2 and Raq which runs mips.

My quirk is if Linux + FrontPage is a no no, should I take out all FP ext
where SSL is used?


Thanks

Jonathan
