Just to disappoint you ...

I've recently had the pleasure of dealing with a black box application 
with the sort of installation of Solaris you would expect from an 
academic. Aparently it is normal for this company to charge 5,000 for 
an out of the box installation of Solaris with no security measures at 
all --- no patches, no services switched off, no wrappers, and no ssh 
installation.

This is for an application whose main users are University libraries 
--- where even when the box lives behind a firewall (this one doesn't), 
it will live on a hostile network.

Fortunately the PHB's did the right thing and insisted that they fix 
the box before they got their money.
