   We're currently expecting that the Campus software distribution
website at <http://software.berkeley.edu> will be updated this Fall
to include listings of acceptable-to-the-campus anti-virus and
host-based firewall software for at least some types of devices not
currently listed, which may include Unix and Linux workstations.
Macintosh firewall software, another current omission, will be
downloadable from that site, as well.
