Yes, I think it would be good to support the tpm device. It would give us a secure certificate store & method of validating a certificate in the kernel. > Thoughts? IMHO we shouldn't be hurrying this into NetBSD 6. Not just this, I have seen another mention of "it would be nice to have in 6". I think we need to be wary of trying to crunch lots of new things into 6 right at the last minute and risk having a bunch of broken drivers due to inadequate testing. I don't mean to pick on you in particular, Brian, it is just that your message happened to be the second "nice to have in 6" I saw. -- Brett Lymn "Warning: The information contained in this email and any attached files is confidential to BAE Systems Australia.
