This message is intended to notify you that after discussing the situation with Stefan Sperling <stsp@>, the author of the Game of Trees, i just committed a solution to OpenBSD-current. The solution involves changes to etc/daily, libexec/security/security, and share/man/man8/security.8. It will also be contained in the upcoming OpenBSD-7.7 release. Yours, Ingo
