Tiger Networking Bugs

I hereby proclaim May 3rd BUG DAY at TUAW. I swear we didn't plan it, but somehow all of our posts are turning up bugs.

Eweek is reporting that there are several networking bugs in Tiger causing some enterprise networking software developers to warn their customers to hold off on upgrading: According to the article, "Incompatibilities with Tiger exist for a large variety of network software, including VPN clients from a variety of vendors, file sharing and Active Directory integration products from Thursby Software Systems Inc. and others, and network encryption software, including PGP Desktop from PGP Corp."

Bill Thursby, CEO of Thursby Software, notes that nothing can be done until Apple fixes the bugs and that Thursby must wait until there is a publicly available fix. But he also doesn't seem to fault Apple for not spotting the problems, saying "There were so many changes in the OS that we couldn't get to testing until the past 30 days. . . . I'm sure they'll fix it in the short term."
