You can read C code, right? What needs to happen is a leader to take charge and give people direction. If someone gave you a few sequences of code to look for, you could find them right? If you were also given a typical work around, you could apply it, right? Not everyone in the OpenBSD project came into this with a security mindset. Rather it was alot of getting people rallied around the cause and teaching them how to go about it. Before we go off 1/2 cocked, we need to get organized. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
