Hello!
Some pretty good time ago, I accidentally found SecureBSD
(www.securebsd.org), which is a security patch for 3.4-REL and 4.0-REL. I
kept a note about this site, and that's about it.
Recently, reviewing my ~/cool.lynx file, I've found this site again.
Interested, I dloaded it (4.0 version) and tried to apply it to my pretty
recent 4.2-STABLE. Not surprisingly, it didn't apply, there were lots of
rejects. I looked at rejected code, and it seems that it can be fixed
easily. I've already wrote a perl script that would help me fixing all
the patches :)
The point of this letter is, whether SecureBSD worth trying or not?
Maybe, even if I manage to correctly apply all the patches, it still would
not work? It seems like really useful and cool thing, but I've hardly
seen anyone using or even mentioning it. Will it help me make more secure
server than using standard FreeBSD methods?
Of course, I speak from 4.2-STABLE user/hacker position.
Opinions? Thought? Everything will be appreciated :)
Thanks.
