The NetBSD project believes in the same philosophy of open disclosure that the BUGTRAQ mailing list runs on. What you know about you can fix, what you don't know about *can* hurt you. By all means, please make your list public. If you tell us about these 50 ways to crash a NetBSD box from the shell, we can fix them. If you don't tell us about them, we cannot fix them. We find lots of bugs all the time and fix them on our own (and make the fact that we have found them public so that other free unix variants can fix them if they suffer from the same bug.) However, no one is perfect -- not FreeBSD, not NetBSD, not OpenBSD. If you do have a list of defects in NetBSD security that are not fixed in -current, we would greatly appreciate getting them so that we could apply fixes. Perry
