	After reading the Security section of the FreeBSD web
site, I still have a question which has been asked of me and
which I am relaying.

	If security holes are discovered in other versions of
UNIX, say, Solaris or one of the Linux varieties, is there any
mechanism under FreeBSD to see whether or not the same hole or
exploit possibility exists in FreeBSD?

	We will be using FreeBSD servers completely exposed as in
no firewalls, at least in the near future, and I want to be able
to honestly reassure them as much as humanly possible.

	My own bias is that we are probably equally at risk running
some of the commercial OS's, but that is just my opinion.

	Thank you.

Martin McCormick
