Hello, I Am interested to know several questions.. - Currently I am using FreeBSD x86-64 I have compiled the majority of my applications up using the right compiler flags to support the 64bit OS. Is there any way within the Operating system that I can turn off 32bit support? - Are applications that have been compiled for the amd-64 platform still vulnerable to x86 style attacks because of the backwards compatability mode? (eg remote buffer overflows in say.. openssh?). Thanks J
