Don't follow your reasoning. From my point of view I need to
understand the vulnerabilities of Novell in order to be able to
appeciate the value of tools to protect it. As it is considered
a "dull" operating system, there is less information about it
available than there is about other operating systems.
I understand the tools for hacking TCP/IP and also understand the
tools for defending TCP/IP. Many of the good tools for defending
TCP/IP make many of the tools for hacking TCP/IP useless.

That was part of the purpose of posting on the list. COMPSECOs
generally have a wide range of valuable experience but are
reluctant to talk about it.

Oh my, the dreaded Dockmaster is lurking on the list, ready to
cannibalize unwary systems.
