Naming of particular products or brands should not be seen as

endorsements, with the exception of the term "GNU/Linux". We
|
|
wholeheartedly endorse the use of GNU/Linux in every situation
|
|
where it is appropriate. It is an extremely versatile, stable,
|
|
and robust operating system that offers an ideal operating
|
|
environment for Bugzilla.

You are strongly recommended to make a backup of your system

before installing Bugzilla and at regular intervals thereafter.

If you implement any suggestion in this Guide, implement this one!

Although the Bugzilla development team has taken great care to
|
|
ensure that all easily-exploitable bugs or options are
|
|
documented or fixed in the code, security holes surely exist.
|
|
Great care should be taken both in the installation and usage of
|
|
this software. Carefully consider the implications of installing
|
|
other network services with Bugzilla. The Bugzilla development
|
|
team members, Netscape Communications, America Online Inc., and
|
|
any affiliated developers or sponsors assume no liability for
|
|
your use of this product. You have the source code to this
|
|
product, and are responsible for auditing it yourself to ensure
|
|
your security needs are met.
