to quote the original advisory: """While protecting data effectively against permanent tampering, the term "Securelevels" should not contain the word secure. Securelevels do not protect against system compromise and provide only limited security. To restrict access to a system a more secure and flexible approach like OpenBSD's systrace[5], FreeBSD's MAC Framework[6] or SELinux[7] should be used.""" I think the security focus article is to some extent making cheap point's off of Theo's attitude (easy enough to do) and the sniping about OpenBSD is for beginners could just as easily be framed in terms of the engineering virtues of simple systems. -- http://Zoneverte.org -- information explained Do you know what your IT infrastructure does?
