Indeed. I'm not judging nor do I know what its all about, but things like this won't bring the BSD's together... <quote> From: Theo de Raadt <deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org> To: misc@openbsd.org Subject: [BSD-Misc] FreeBSD hiding security stuff A few FreeBSD developers apparently have found some security issue of some sort affecting i386 operating systems in some cases. They have refused to give us real details. A promise is now being made. If a bug is found in OpenSSH, which we believe to have security consequences, we wil inform FreeBSD last. Fair is fair. I really wish it was not this way, but after a week of trying to get the policy to be fixed, we are changing our policy as well. Without immediate action from them to repair their policy, and a public apology for this, that policy will stand. </quote> Beni.
