We just had a security application vendor come in.  We asked about Linux
support and he said that putting a security application on top of an
insecure OS was useless.  When I asked what he meant by insecure he replied
that Linux does not have a true Auditing capability - as opposed to HP-UX &
Solaris which they do support.  Can anyone explain to me what he was talking
about?


Thanks,


Marty
