Just to clear the air, I meant in no way to impune the coding skills of the FreeBSD contributors. In past postings I have thanked them, and certainly feel that practically everyone on this list has more knowledge than do I. I am not, nor have I ever been a coder. I was just giving a generic answer that is gives an overall view of the BSD sterotypes. Apologies if this message is messy. Trying to compose in a shrunk- down web based email client is somewhat difficult. --- Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org> > wrote: >Part: 1 ><pre>On Sun, Mar 04, 2001 at 08:11:45PM -0800, K .
