The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
You always want to run with the least number of ports open and least # of services active. Having the ports and services to allow remote commands on a Windows PC for instance is not a good idea.

these commands, we had to turn them all off after a security audit.
So is using an alternative to those commands, apparently private features that would do effectively the same thing, somehow better for any of the auditors, programmers, users, the security\integrity of the requesting system, the security\integrity of the target system? If so, then in what ways? Seems to me that if the target system was insecure prior to the access to those features being denied, then the same exposures remain at the target; being denied those methods still leaves any other possible exploits... presumably even including the private replacements.
