I understand most of the FreeBSD release system, however i have a problem with it that i feel should be addressed. Why are there releases floating around with security holes in them? certain 'fixes' that are trivial but nessesary like the procfs patch should be applied all around the source tree as soon as possible. I understand that that is what the -stable releases are for... but it's almost being too much of a purist to let that stuff continue to be in freebsd. .________________________________________________________________________ __ _ |Alfred Perlstein - Programming & SysAdmin --"Have you seen my FreeBSD tatoo?" |perlsta@sunyit.edu --"who was that masked admin?" |http://www.cs.sunyit.edu/~perlsta : '
