Your question is a bit off-topic in terms of certification, although security is an important part of safety. See the list of FreeBSD mailing lists: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL freebsd-security or freebsd-security-notifications might be appropriate for your needs. There is a lot of FreeBSD security-related work going on in the TrustedBSD project ( http://www.trustedbsd.org ). Another BSD project, OpenBSD ( http://www.openbsd.org ), has security and safety as its primary focus. -- Craig Rodrigues http://www.gis.net/~craigr rodrigc@attbi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
