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.
