That video contradicts that. As someone who has manipulated moving picture for fun and profit,=20 having a video of something is a proof of nothing. For all what it's=20 worth the OS in video might be FreeBSD - or even loonix made to look=20 like FreeBSD, made vulnerable on purpose of tarring the project. Until the security team gives their official response and patches, I=20 read the entire story with a grain of salt, especially as the=20 originator was so keen on getting his discovery into news websites... If the discovery is real, the patch will come when it will come, until=20 then the publicity is just negligible buzz. -Reko=20
