No, I use a kernel that has been audited several times for vulnerabilities.
Oh, so what you're saying is that these tools go disassemble the binaries
and just cut through the disassembled code and let you know where a
vulnerability may exist? Awesome, wanna give me that URL?
Perhaps you'd like to explain why I'm so busy, because you seem to know why.
And FYI, I can secure OpenBSD in less than 5 minutes without the 'help' (or
whatever youw ant to call a crutch) of tools.

Oh you clever SOB you.
First off, I never said any of that. Of course I asked questions. What does
that have to do with anything? Yes, I've made mistakes, but the mistakes you
spoke of, resulted in a box being rooted, so my answer to that was NO. And yes,
I have a bridge in brooklyn to sell (once again, quite the clever comment).
Just to clear things up, I never said I was perfect. I just happen to know
a lot about system security. I didn't learn it over night, and I never used
'scripts' to help me. I'm sorry it was OpenBSD and not Linux that has helped me a lot
in gaining knowledge of system security.

Sorry if I delete posts I have either read or replied to. This type of stuff
doesn't keep me up at night, so theres no need to keep the email in my box
and dwell on a clever comeback.
