The freebsd page pretty much tells people to send security vulnerabilities to security-officer@freebsd.org. the security information page is also directly linked from the front page, although it could be a bit more obvious. i believe (but i can't be sure, since i'm not one of the security-officer folk) that the address is bounced to several people, including kris kenneway. http://www.freebsd.org/security/ anyhow, just as an FYI. -- jan -------/ f. johan beisser /--------------------------------------+ http://caustic.org/~jan jan@caustic.org "John Ashcroft is really just the reanimated corpse of J.
