-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Get used to it. :) To be fair, OpenBSD has done tons of auditing in their system, and tend to take a more minimalistic approach which is great for their purpose. I do think that their mythos has gone a tad too far though. If we drop the ports tree, which isn't really a part of "The OS", I can't really say that I've seen less OpenBSD advisories than FreeBSD ones, lately things have seem to be affecting everyone. (format bugs, et al). Kris & the Security Team have done a great job with security as well, just look at the amount of ports advisories we've been saying. Some may say, "that's insecure" but I sleep better at night knowing there are people out there who care about port security and all. Thanks Kris & team. :) We need more PR.
