Oh yes. That has worked *so* well for Microsoft. But not _adding_ those insecuritites, 90% of POSIX is damn good, and has nothing to do with security, and is merly a API for writting portable programs. The remaining 10% have to do with some bits of security, uid's and file permissions. These bits can be _ignored_ and something different implemented on instead. Just like not implementing chroot(), and using something different that is secure. But you knew that and had to start a flame instead, and make absurd claims that all of POSIX is inherently insecure, when in reality it the majority of POSIX is totally irrelevant to implementing a secure operating system. _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
