I thought this to be sensible advice. Before seeing that I'd thought of
copying it to rwatson@ who I figured might take an interest due to his
involvement with Capsicum, acl(3) and such, but he certainly reads that
list anyway (and more than likely, not this one :)

Correct :)
So thats turn left, right? Clear as mud now... :)

schultz' post was nothing in the way of an FAQ issue, but a request for
discussion of a wide range of system security issues, far indeed from a
'simple question'. Had you posted the two paragraphs before the one you
quote above, this may have been a little clearer. To wit:
"This is a technical discussion list covering FreeBSD security issues.
The intention is for the list to contain a high-signal, low-noise
discussion of issues affecting the security of FreeBSD.
I think that has clarified things sufficiently now. Looks like I should
subscribe to that list too.
