While it can rightfully be said that OpenBSD has done extensive auditing, I think all that's required of us is some auditing of the auditing. :) If you don't take the changes wholesale but merely use them as "very good hints" in doing your own security auditing, I think you'll be off to an excellent start in exactly the right direction. Don't stop there though - there's every possibility that other eyes might catch something *they* missed, and that's something which can only benefit both groups. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
