10:36.58ChoHag<Kvik> all the servers must have local firewalls, says PCI.
10:37.18morsingChoHag: PCI is a joke
10:37.19ChoHagAs we're incompetent at running firewalls here, much hilarity is caused by this [incorrect] statement.
10:37.23morsingAlso, PCI does *not* say that
10:38.12ChoHagYeah I decided not to argue.
10:38.50ChoHagTheir foot's been shot so much there's nothing left.
10:40.26ChoHagOf course it could actually be that the servers in question aren't on a protected network, which would not surprise me in the least.
10:46.26morsingThen they would fail PCI anyway
10:47.06z00daxthe biggest problem with PCI is that there are hardly any PCI certification people around who know what they are doing, know what the PCI is about and can really do an audit

11:40.11haliPCI/DSS is fairly useful if you *store* credit card details, it's mostly setting up guidelines and following them, not strict rules
11:40.32wethrinlike ITIL...
11:40.42halione annoying thing is that it recommends a full pentetration test after any system change
11:40.47wethrinbut you need someone with a brain to set up and implement the system
11:41.05wethrinwell, that depends what part of the system changes
11:41.16morsinghali: "Recommends". PCI is fairly flexible and look at "Risk"
11:41.35halihence why i didn't say "requires"
11:42.36halibut most companies can probably skip PCI completly, if you really require it, you probably need FSA regulations, if you don't need FSA regulations it doesn't really matter
11:44.09ChoHagIt gives you a nice little logo to put on your webpage though.
11:44.32haliyou can use the "Powered by Apache" logo
11:44.38haliif all you need is a nice little logo
11:45.06morsinghali: The card issuers won't cover your loss if you're not compliant and you lose money by intruders

14:25.57Guest67393Oh blimey. Never mind, eh? I'm up and running - after alarums and excursions and am currently blissfully happy with PCLinuxOS looking after things. And TWO e-mail addresses!
14:28.45Guest67393GLLUG's advice triggered an avalanche of good sense and increased my powers of argument - so much so I bludgeoned BT into changing things to my benefit. Yuperooney!
14:30.27z00daxwe havent had this level of excitement in here since 1955
14:30.52Guest67393Anywhichways, i have to go - many thanks, GLLUGers - we'll talk again soon.

14:39.22dick_turpinAfternoon all
14:42.24morsingdick_turpin: You're correct, for once
14:43.06dick_turpinEven a broken clock is correct once a day
14:47.24ChoHagDepends how it's broken.
14:47.48dick_turpin"To the left to the left"
15:19.16ChoHagWeee! Everything's going down while $contractor fucks about with the live cache servers.
