| 1840.1 | Retired! | GALVIA::SMITH | | Thu Mar 06 1997 12:15 | 9 |
| PSID got "retired" by Digital as part of the "get out of application
software strategy". The people were "dispersed" and so on. It might
still be available as a legacy product, but it was "unbundled" from
the firewall product at V2.1.
It should not be described in the app notes in V2.1, but alas I
notice that is was. It won't in V3.0!!

| 1840.2 | Official retirement note? Consequences on AFWU? | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Sebastian L�lsdorf | Fri Mar 07 1997 03:24 | 14 |
| Mark,
I am rather surprised! I've just searched the WEB and found
http://www-unix.evt.dec.com/stn_dir/polycenter_prd.html
but I do not read explicitly there that PSID will disappear.
AltaVista Firewall Engineering used to recommend + ship PSID until AFWU V2.0.
What negative impact has the PSID retirement on a firewall's security?
Do you plan to detect those security intrusions by the firewall software
itself (possibly in V3)?

| Another excellent use for Tripwire. It's free; get it, install it, use it.

| This will be part of the fall-out of the Polycenter products going to CA,
and the Digital Firewall Engineering becoming AltaVista Firewall Engineering.
Why should you expect (any longer) that AltaVista (which for all intents
and purposes is a separate company from Digital) to tie closely into a
product from CA? Or maybe PSID didn't go to CA, but if not, where are the
PSID Engineering team now? They are most certainly not in AltaVista ...
