To “FreeBSD” I have a little problem I hope you will help me with. I have to choose an operating system for my server and I am torn between OpenBSD and FreeBSD. I have heared a lot of good things about each, but I have found that most people use FreeBSD and there is more literature on FreeBSD. But when I visit your website and OpenBSD’s the to headlines concern me: FreeBSD: "Please be aware that the telnet daemon shipping in FreeBSD prior to July 23, 2001 contains a remotely exploitable security problem. " OpenBSD: "Four years without a remote hole in the default install!" I have read about OpenBSD’s default installation and found out that it meant no running services, but I couldn’t find similar information on you website. So there of my first question is: Which services are running after a FreeBSD default installation? And my second: In your honest opinion, which of the two OS’s are the most secure? (less buggiest) And finally my last question: Which of the two OS’s have the brightest future? I hope you will answer my questions*S* Yours sincerely Daniel Blankensteiner Denmark -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
