Corporations - INTERNET Companies... If you look at the big picture, having a O.S. that has been audited for issues would actually be cost effective for them. Having to patch a machine that is in service causes downtime. Lets see - Each machine takes ten (10) minutes of human work to drop into single user mode and install new binaries/kernels The company has one thousand (1000) machines That comes to ten thousand (10000) minutes, broken down to hours - 167 Hours The average admin say is making forty five (45) dollars a hour - over $7000.00 - not including taxes paid by employer. So if one hundred fifty companies donated one thousand dollars (1000) it would save them downtime, payroll, and taxes. Just a rough estimate and my 2 cents Chris Odell chris@redstarnetworks.net -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-security@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-security@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Devon H.
