I have quite a bit of experience with Sarbanes-Oxley and UNIX compliance. One weak area is auditing root and shared account access. Generally the developers know the application account's password (like oracle or db2) and it's really hard to audit who did what. I created the tool Enterprise Audit Shell (EAS) which centrally logs shell access and sessions in an enterprise environment. Sessions can be snooped in real-time or played back at a later time. Each session is digitally signed and transmitted via OpenSSL. Project Site http://sourceforge.net/projects/eash Support Forum http://eas.strchr.net/

OpenDocument Plans Questioned by Disabled 375

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Tuesday May 09, 2006 @01:31PM from the thankfully-open-source-can-adapt-quickly dept.

ComputerWorld is reporting that John Winske, president of the Disability Policy Consortium, is raising some questions about the accessibility of the OpenDocument format. From the article: "Winske, who has muscular dystrophy, said he instantly remembered how Microsoft had to be "prodded and dragged, kicking and screaming" to make its software accessible during the transition from DOS to Windows. None of the prominent desktop applications that can create and save documents in OpenDocument currently work well with screen readers, magnifiers and other assistive technologies -- at least at a level comparable to that of products from Microsoft, whose 40-person Accessibility Technology Group is now widely praised by disabilities advocates."
