| Hello FreebSD'ers!
|
| [ Apologies to committers, I have Bcc'ed you to ensure you got
| this; you may get two copies. ]
|
| I have been charged with the duty of ensuring that FreeBSD gets a
| security audit that has the credibility of OpenBSD's.
|
| Consider this to be a request-for-discussion that will head us over to
| the actual work of getting it done.
Great to hear that we are finally doing this. :-)
| My proposals are pretty simple;
|
| 1) We need to eyeball _all_ of the code for potential security holes,
| and fix those ASAP.
|
| 2) I propose that <WE> diff(1) FreeBSD with {Open|Net}BSD, and with a
| security perspective apply those bits that look relevant and that will
| work. Who nose - we may even pick up some useful featurez!
I have a set up diff's that introduce OpenBSDs concept of random pids and
source port (with a sysctl knob for you sequential weenies) that will have
to be updated again before I commit them.
