Hello Bugtraq. I work for WindDance Networks Corporation. While developing our Breeze Network server mentioned in a previous message, we were interested in having some 'friendlies' try out the Breeze and offer suggestions regarding additional potential functionality requirements for their clients and others. As our current president, Rainer Paduch, was previously the president and vice-chairman of iStar before it was acquired by PSINet, he asked if they would take a look at our prototype. They accepted, so I made an image of one of our development machines for them to check out and recommend features/changes. A few weeks later Mr. Vardomskiy (Stany) called me and mentioned some security concerns, which he has outlined in his previous message. I explained that the version of the Breeze he received was not intended for customers, and most of the issues he mentioned were well known and the way they were because this was an image of my development machine and not a production machine. I explained that we had some things to work on, and that we had a security review planned after we had ensured that the machine was stable and functional. I am distressed that Mr. Vardomskiy has misrepresented the status of the machine he received and I do not understand why he was confused after our conversation on the phone. We have since created a beta release image of the Breeze. I did not promise to contact Mr. Vardomskiy, but I did mention that we would soon have a newer load available and would be happy to send it over if PSINet had time to evaluate it. If anyone has any specific questions about the Breeze or the issues mentioned before please contact me anytime.
