The whole PCI DSS issue is fairly important to many people at the moment, and wht does not help is the general brain-dead'ness shown by many of the so-called-experts doing the scans / checks. Having said that, I *do* realise its a big deal and (a) we as a group of people should be able to address is, since its something that impacts so many and (b) most likely have the resources to do whatever is needed for (a). So if you want to extend your 'we' to be 'we, the centos community' - you have my attention and I know almost everyone else around here as well. How about putting some ideas together on what needs to be done as a whole, on the wiki - even if one idea might be to better educate the people running these scans. Maybe even go one step further: setup the wiki page, bring some people together who have $clue >0 and have a bit of time, a few hours per week is plenty. And lets start thrashing out the possible solution paths for the hundreds of people in the 'problem area'. I'd be happy to work with such a group of people. And I've read the PCI spec requirements. Disclaimer: I dont have any use for or the requirement to meet any pci standards, but I am slightly concerned that too many people are trying too hard to work on this in silo's where its clear that having a central resource pool would be both a clear win and a massive saving on individual resources. -- Karanbir Singh London, UK | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
