It comes >(at least in the current server version) with apache.Your mileage may certainly vary, but Unix is far more suited to public network server applications than MacOS or NT. OSX and other Unix varients can be set up in insecure fashions, but managed properly are far more secure than any other operating system. There have been lots of security holes found and plugged because Unix is such a widely used O/S. MacOS is relatively unknown as far as overall security, since it is a closed O/S with little exposure; hackers don't know what to make of it, but that doesn't make it secure.Granted, WebCatalog does not at this time have a good multi-site hosting option, since all processes operate with the same user/rights. I hope this changes in version 4.x. However, it will never be possible to have the same level of multiuser security under MacOS and barely possible under NT/2000, due to their respective security models.> Brian B.
