I attended a talk by a group of Intrusion Detection researchers. They were basing their research on FreeBSD because they needed divert sockets and found FreeBSD worked perfectly for this in this respect. However, once they needed IPv6 and IPsec guess what happened??? They moved to Linux and now have such a time investment in their custom kernel hacks FreeBSD will never be an option for them again. NetBSD and OpenBSD get more and more coverage from IPv6/IPsec capabilities every day. FreeBSD has lost considerable ground if we want to be a platform of choice for network and security researchers. Now ever LSOF has IPv6 support for NetBSD and OpenBSD... ----- Forwarded message from Vic Abell ----- Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 10:53:51 -0500 Subject: 64 bit lsof for Solaris 7; IPv6 support for {Net,Open}BSD IPv6 Support for {Net,Open}BSD ============================== ..snip..
