Hi,
I'm wondering why the FreeBSD project adds this information to the banner by
default. I learned that not exposing information about the running system is
good security practice.
Any thoughts about this? What is the gain of this banner?
NB: I'm not in a position to really question this, just curious why it is the
default.
Regards,
Ronald.
