Launch of EnGarde Linux Community: Veteran Open Source Security
platform provides secure enterprise capability in a Community Platform.
October 9th, 2007 - Today, Guardian Digital, the world's premier
provider of open source security solutions, is happy to announce the
newest release of EnGarde Secure Linux: Community 3.0.17 (Version 3.0,
Release 17), the world's first Open Source security platform.
In distribution since 2001, Guardian Digital's EnGarde has been a
staple for security enthusiasts, administrators and organizations
looking to run servers easily and securely. Solely designed as an
integrated server platform, EnGarde Secure Linux provides web, DNS and
email functions simply and securely, while delivering on integrated
intrusion detection, advanced kernel and network security features,
manageable SELinux policies, robust engineering and graphical auditing
and reporting.
WebTool, EnGarde's online configuration tool, makes system
configuration and maintenance nearly ?touch-free' and allows for
instantaneous updating and patching through GDSN, the Guardian Digital
Support Network.
This release includes many updated packages and bug fixes, some
feature enhancements to Guardian Digital WebTool and new features
regarding Daemon controls, password shadowing, Load balancing, Samba
and more.

NEW FEATURES:
? Support for TCB, an alternative password shadowing scheme, has been
added. This allows most system utilities to work with the least amount
of privilege possible and, when properly configured, can allow you to
run a system with zero setuid binaries.
? powernowd, a daemon to control the CPU speed and voltage of your
server, is also now available. Once properly configured, powernowd
can dynamically adjust the speed and voltage of your CPU, via the
kernel CPUFreq and sysfs interfaces, to preserve power when it's idle.
? A very early-stage version of Samba 4 for users to evaluate.
