We launched our Hosted Exchange 2007 Product just over a year ago. And for the most part, things have gone great.
One of our early decisions was to balance the security of the system while making the system as user friendly as possible. Originally, we had a pretty strict password policy. We soon found that many of our customers were not too happy with this policy and thought it was too much.
Yes, its true, I passed the test. It wasn’t easy. In fact, I took the test 2 times.
The first time I went into the test I felt fairly confident. I had studied the admin guide and the maximum guides. I had taken the mock exams and done well on those. (Huge thanks for Simon Long and his great site of resources!!!) I thought that I had a fair understanding on how vSphere4 worked.
Maybe someone can help me out here. It seems to me that wordpress is lacking some support for upgrades with SSL. For example, I do not have FTP open on my web server and I have no plans to open it up in the future. I DO however support ftp over ssh also known as sftp. But when I click on the ‘automatically upgrade’ link in the plugins directory, here is the screen that I am greeted with.
As many people may know, OpenSuse 10.3 will soon be going away. Many people have updated already to the 11.x series but there are a bunch of us that have been straggling behind.
We have a pretty good reason why we haven’t upgraded. It is also the reason why we are very leary of performing kernel upgrades. Basically, if there is a kernel upgrade, we have to have one of us on site in the data center because there is a good chance, close to 80%, that the box will NOT come back up after updating the kernel due to grub errors.
I’m not sure if you’ve applied the latest updates for wordpress but I did last week. However, it appears that someone got in to one of the blogs that I manage and created an account for themselves. They didn’t do anything with it, but they DID have full admin access. I’m assuming that this was due to a security bug in 2.8.3 as they were in when that was on the server.
