texte = PACIFIC COAST SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES UPDATE TO SITEEDIT PRO -- Popular internet server untility gains increased security and versatilitySan Diego, September 3, 1997 -- Pacific Coast Software has released an updated version of SiteEdit and SiteEdit Pro for Macintosh that improves the security of its user database and allows increased versatility for user access. SiteEdit is a remote access tool for Macintosh and Windows Web servers. SiteEdit 2.04 now encrypts all passwords stored in its user database. Even if someone is able to access the password file they will not be able to access SiteEdit. A corrupted password file will not cause SiteEdit to revert to default passwords. Instead, a message telling the visitor to contact the server administrator is displayed. In addition, administrators are now able to securely give users access to folder aliases that lead to locations outside their normal folder hierarchy. This versatility is really useful for sites that have separate areas for documents and graphics.The update is part of our continued security and useability enhancements and comes in response to the recent Crack A Mac contest where a hacker was able to access protected files on the server and used this back-door entry to view the SiteEdit passwords file. A full description of this event is available on our Web site at http://www.smithmicro.com/St_Pages/SESecurity.html.For more information on SiteEdit, including time limited demo versions, please visit Pacific Coast Software's Web site at http://www.smithmicro.com. SiteEdit is available for Macintosh and Windows Web servers.Pacific Coast Software also develops a leading edge eCommerce application suite: WebCatalog and WebMerchant. In addition, complete eCommerce site design, consulting, and hosting is available. Visit our Web site or contact sales@smithmicro.com for additional information. John A.
