[kwlug-disc] Blue Coat

[B.S.]

Interesting, thanks for the heads up.

Little puzzled, though, as I expect most certificates get consulted by 
browsers, not the OS. No doubt it applies for trusted mac/windows 
software/OS updates. i.e. I would have thought they would focus more on 
what it means to browsers, not OS'.

Anyone got links on the Blue Coat 'issue' in terms of impact upon Linux?

Regardless, that there are '"man in the middle" devices' out there is 
... disturbing. I get that there are Sandvine boxes out there between me 
and my internet provider, but not much I can do about that. That there 
are other (devices) out there is ... <ick>.
