D-Link NTP vandalism väärib boikotti

Posted by pj on Monday, April 10. 2006

Võrguseadmete tootja D-Link on hakkama saanud korraliku pahandusega. Taani internetiserveritele NTP-teenuse pakkuja Poul-Henning Kamp kirjelduse järgi on kümnekonna D-Link'i võrgutoote süsteemikoodis valesti lahendatud kellateenuse kasutamine. Tegemist on robustse NTP-standardi ning kehtiva hea tava rikkumisega, mis põhjustab kümnetele NTP-serveritele tohutuid lisakulusid ning D-Link ei ole teinud eriti midagi oma vigade parandamiseks ja kulude hüvitamiseks.

Suur hulk internetiteenuseid põhineb tänaseni härrasmeeste käitumisel ja vastastikusel viisakusel ning selle rikkumine ei peaks olema lubatud. Mina kavatsen selle firma tooteid kõigiti vältida ning soovitaks kõigil kodu- ja äritarbijatel sama teha ning poodidel D-Link'i tooteid müüki mitte võtta.

Brief English translation:

D-Link, the producer of SOHO equipment, has in very rough manner violated NTP-standard and good manners as described here. I will avoid D-Link products and advise everyone else to do the same.
