Eh?????
What about New browser are you talking? ;-) I don't know,that lynx(1) which is in base (! ;-)) has option about:plugins . All others are not in base,just option and every user of OpenBSD know,that he/she must be careful about installing SW,which is not in base. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html especially this part is maybe too hard for someone to understand : The packages and ports collection does NOT go through the same thorough security audit that is performed on the OpenBSD base system. Although we strive to keep the quality of the packages collection high, we just do not have enough human resources to ensure the same level of robustness and security. Of course security updates for various applications are committed to the ports tree as soon as possible, and corresponding package security updates are made available as snapshots for -current. But maybe not every user as I read your mail. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bofh Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2008 2:40 AM To: OpenBSD general usage list Subject: OT: Disappointment: New browser - *sigh* So, by now everyone should have heard about the new browser. I just test drove it a little, and it works great on the sites I go to normally. So, why am I disappointed? For a group of people, who took the time to draw a bunch of cartoons to explain that they view security as something very very important, to fumble so badly, is really... sad. No, I'm not talking about the eula, or the old webkit that has a security problem. I'm talking about: about:plugins ActiveX Plug-in File name: activex-shimActiveX Plug-in provides a shim to support ActiveX controls*sigh* Good intentions and all that, I guess. -- http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk "This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity." -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.
