Red Hat to support SE Linux in Enterprise Linux 4.0

Red Hat to support SE Linux in Enterprise Linux 4.0

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Red Hat will ship an enhanced security model in the next version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CRN has learned. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0, due out in 2005, will include support for Security-Enhanced Linux (SE Linux), according to a spokeswoman from the US-based commercial Linux vendor. . . .

Groklaw: SCOs 10K, MyDoom, and the Morgan Keegan Letters

Groklaw: SCO's 10K, MyDoom, and the Morgan Keegan Letters

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Another odd thing. The 10K, which is for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2003 and which was signed and filed on January 28, 2004, mentions the MyDoom virus, which happened January 26, 2004. It puts it in the context of adverse results from their litigation strategy and seems to pin the blame on the Linux community, which as it now turns out is inaccurate . . .

Anti-Virus Companies: Tenacious Spammers

Anti-Virus Companies: Tenacious Spammers

Since I have little hope for the Anti-Virus industry and really doubt they will take the logical course of action and reconfigure their inferior products, it's probably best if I recommend another course of action. Every time you receive a piece of mail from an Anti-Virus company product, treat it like any other spam. Forward it to the appropriate abuse/postmaster contacts of the remote system. Make sure you also send a copy to their upstream provider and any law enforcement that is appropriate. Be sure to send a copy to the offending spammer/Anti-Virus company so they are aware you don't like their practice. . . .

Gates takes a side-swipe at Apple, Linux security

Gates takes a side-swipe at Apple, Linux security

"A high volume system like [Windows] that has been thoroughly tested will be by far the most secure," Gates told the audience at the Developing Software for the future Microsoft Platform conference at London's Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre. "To say a system is secure because no one is attacking it is very dangerous," said Gates, referring to operating systems that have a smaller share of the desktop market, such as Apple Mac OS and Linux. . . .

One of the main selling points for Linux has been its relative immunity from the hacker community. But that is changing as Linux gains greater traction among enterprises. "While the focus and publicity remains around Windows, Linux is becoming much more of a target to virus writers," says Yankee Group analyst Laura DiDio. . . .

HP is porting OpenView Operations (OVO) to Linux, and renewing OpenView for Unix in the process. Due next year, the first Linux-based OpenView modules will target applications where Linux is most popular, such as security management and the finance industry. . . .

Just a friendly note that the secsup.org mirror is horrendously broken and there are bad files, bad sigs, probably missing files, etc. It seems as though secsup cannot maintain a healthy mirror so if you are currently using it for updates, please find a different mirror instead. . . .

Red Hat Inc. on Wednesday issued four security alerts that include fixes for problems in Apache, elm, cvs and the KDE desktop environment. These components are bundled with several Red Hat products, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, Red Hat Linux Advanced Server and Workstation software. None of the alerts were labeled critical by the Raleigh, N.C.-based Linux distributor, but administrators are advised to apply the appropriate updates. . . .

Accordingly, Novell today outlined key agenda items for the advancement of Linux. Having just closed its acquisition of SUSE LINUX on January 13, the company is planning to announce next week further initiatives to - as a company spokeman puts it - "further strengthen Linux security, expand Novell's range of partnerships and offer greater freedom of choice to IT customers." . . .

The Open-Sourcing of Cobalt

On December 24, Sun Microsystems released the source code for the software that runs its RaQ Web and e-mail server. Why not? Sun won't be using it any more. The RaQ was a Linux box, and the last of the Cobalt line that Sun bought in 2000. Earlier last year, it opened the source code for the Cobalt Qube server. . . .

Just three years after Sun Microsystems paid $2 billion in stock for server appliance maker Cobalt Networks, Sun has killed off the Cobalt product line. The move marks the end of the Cobalt brand of Linux servers at Sun, although Sun will continue to resell Linux operating systems from Red Hat and SuSE Linux on x86 servers. Sun also sells Linux for the desktop in the shape of the Sun Java Desktop, but its own server line now runs Solaris exclusively. . . .

Beginning January 1, 2004, Progeny will offer software updates for users of Red Hat® Linux® 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0, with support for 9 starting May 1, 2004. This service is based on Progeny's Platform Services technology and will provide a flexible . . .

Backed by big name partners, SUSE Linux and Red Hat are each putting their security systems through the rigorous paces of Common Criteria Scheme (CCS) testing, with ultimate plans to reach the same security ratings already achieved by Microsoft and Unix players. The Common Criteria stamp of approval "reduces the investment risk and also provides more trust" in Linux, according to Roman Drahtmueller, a member of SUSE's security team.. . .

Some people would have you believe this is monumental or out of the ordinary -- a group that distributes software experiencing a compromise, then letting everybody know about it and warning of the potential risks. Those that prance about in Penguin-embroidered cheerleader tops and yellow and black tutus suggest between pom-pom waves that no commercial vendor would ever be as candid.. . .
