HI, Just come back from "websec" which was a bit dull, but I did get the = feeling whilst fighting off the sleep that there is a really good = opening for a quality secure O/S. =20 Now realistically all this would have to be is a really anal = installation process, forcing the user to positively select services = such as ftp,telnet, sendmail etc. So if you don't select anything, you = can't much. It would also have carefully set UMASKS and probably come = with some easy way to get the user to set-up tripwire and ipfw for = example. I suspect that most of the readers of this list spend a fair amount of = time going through the same laborious process of tying down each server = they built. How about we pools this vast collection of procedures = together and try to build some kind of a security release. We all know = (well at least I hope we do!) what a solid O/S FreeBSD is, wouldn't this = be the ideal opportunity, to push the OS further into the public eye?
