Why not all three teams work together for just one BSD version?If I remember correctly, there are multiple versions of BSD because the teams could not work together.
Indeed. I'm not judging nor do I know what its all about, but things like this won't bring the BSD's together...
<quote> From: Theo de Raadt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [BSD-Misc] FreeBSD hiding security stuff
A few FreeBSD developers apparently have found some security issue of some sort affecting i386 operating systems in some cases.
They have refused to give us real details.
A promise is now being made.
If a bug is found in OpenSSH, which we believe to have security consequences, we wil inform FreeBSD last.
Fair is fair.
I really wish it was not this way, but after a week of trying to get the policy to be fixed, we are changing our policy as well.
Without immediate action from them to repair their policy, and a public apology for this, that policy will stand. </quote>
