    Hello Bugtraq.
    
    I work for WindDance Networks Corporation.  While developing our Breeze
    Network server mentioned in a previous message, we were interested in having
    some 'friendlies' try out the Breeze and offer suggestions regarding
    additional potential functionality requirements for their clients and
    others.  As our current president, Rainer Paduch, was previously the
    president and vice-chairman of iStar before it was acquired by PSINet, he
    asked if they would take a look at our prototype.  They accepted, so I made
    an image of one of our development machines for them to check out and
    recommend features/changes.
    
    A few weeks later Mr. Vardomskiy (Stany) called me and mentioned some
    security concerns, which he has outlined in his previous message.  I
    explained that the version of the Breeze he received was not intended for
    customers, and most of the issues he mentioned were well known and the way
    they were because this was an image of my development machine and not a
    production machine.  I explained that we had some things to work on, and
    that we had a security review planned after we had ensured that the machine
    was stable and functional.
    
    I am distressed that Mr. Vardomskiy has misrepresented the status of the
    machine he received and I do not understand why he was confused after our
    conversation on the phone.  We have since created a beta release image of
    the Breeze.  I did not promise to contact Mr. Vardomskiy, but I did mention
    that we would soon have a newer load available and would be happy to send it
    over if PSINet had time to evaluate it.
    
    If anyone has any specific questions about the Breeze or the issues
    mentioned before please contact me anytime.
