I doubt you'll find much OSX expertise among freebsd-security subscribers even if it wasn't OT. Assuming there is no osx-security list or newsgroup your best bet would be to contact Apple directly. However, given Apple's difficulties issuing patches and all the insecure, desktop-oriented changes made to OSX's older FreeBSD base, it's a losing battle (IME). -- Roger Marquis Roble Systems Consulting http://www.roble.com/
