Here, here.  Finally, this thread takes a useful turn.  ;)

I am extremely interested in the security development of the FreeBSD
system.  I'd be willing to dedicate server resources (mailing lists,
archives, shell accounts, whatever) to such a project...  as others
are, I'm sure.

A forum for exchange of such information would be very useful, but
what is the purpose of -security (announces/fixes only?).  There's
also the already substantial list of helpful resources provided by
http://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html.  Also, there was an
auditing project underway (forget the URL)...

I agree we need to be active and work together on this, but we don't
want to waste time reinventing the wheel or redoing what other
projects have already accomplished.

Later,
