well... openbsd is probably more secure than e.g. linux, but I wouldn't call it highly secure. For me highly secure means that you can run potentially malicious code without harm. I do not know exactly about the openbsd security architecture, but it is very coarse grained compared to object capability systems (iirc). Also, it relies on acls (for what I know), a security model *known not to work*. - -- - -ness- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEY4t0vD/ijq9JWhsRAkYqAJ4sRX9YwtGE+Zd4fhEdXW+dteEFagCfdgXd 3nTsWpT1VP7cGZnOpWVss1U= =G94E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
