Ok, I've just about hit my limit with respect to people bashing FreeBSD for security. (Specifically certain members of the OpenBSD community :) So, I have looked at the archives of the FreeBSD-security list and it looked like the security audit pretty much stopped some time ago and never restarted...Someone please correct me if I am wrong. So, to correct this, I would like to start making an effort to break apart the changes made to OpenBSD that will affect FreeBSD security and integrate those changes into the FreeBSD tree. If this actually sounds like a good thing to do, then I will need to know who the contact is that will be able to review my changes and check them into the necessary trees. I definitely want to avoid integrating any politically incorrect features from OpenBSD, but I want to make any changes that will improve security. If this stuff has already been done and I just missed it somewhere, please let me know. I think that if we can get some of the major integration work done then it will be a good time to restart the audit from scratch and pick up what was missed.
