I do not believe that is what he was implying by comparing this to Linux. I think he might be using Linux as a example of "They have not limited their users to only changing source code" to get the objective completed. They should have. In this case and reviewing the previous messages + remembering these: http://bit.ly/9sigji http://bit.ly/9pfE9A http://bit.ly/9CNT3K FreeBSD takes the correct action for this scenario which could proudly be used as an exemplary piece of code that other forms of OS's should use as a reference for integrity. http://bit.ly/byHBzN Regards, -- jhell _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
