I'd be glad to help. As someone in a similar position (I *cannot* adopt a branch for use on production servers before the .2 release), I've always been a strong advocate of keeping -STABLE patched against newly discovered problems. When you think about it, it should not be surprising that a growing number of users want this. If folks are running -STABLE on production servers because they want rock-solid performance, they certainly will also care about having security holes patched in a timely way. After all, they don't want those mission-critical machines to be cracked. --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
