Linux? If i remember correctly, we were talking about Open- and NetBSD. There are too many people working on too many thins under Linux, and in the rarest case do they care about security in the first case. Primary goal for them is to get stuff working, often at the cost of security, as is shown by all those CERT and other security related advisories regarding Linux. And regarding my comment - you asked about the security of NetBSD, and i gave you the answer you'll usually get from one of the OpenBSD-folks. Nasty? Sarcastic. :) Hubert -- Hubert Feyrer <hubert.feyrer@rz.uni-regensburg.de>
