The specific problem is the "--config" vulnerability noted on BugTraq, which ios easily fixed by "#ifdef'ing" it out. I understand that there have been a lot of bugs that have been listed as "FreeBSD bugs", when they were really software from third parties, but that's really no reason to be so hypersensitive about the distinction that FreeBSD becomes nothing more than the kernel and perl. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
