I never said OpenBSD was more secure than Debian. I merely pointed out that I think their policy of not starting services (perhaps I should qualify that as "services that are added to the default base system") is a good policy.
The only reason I suggested that is because, IIRC, this thread started with someone bashing M$ because they say its easy to administer their products. I have heard a lot of advocacy for Debian based on ease of use. That's the problem, it's too easy to put yourself in a bad situation. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PS We don't give guns to children, do we?
