This is more of a grammar/wording question, but it does go on to the security of OS's in general.
Was having a read of this; http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2009/04/15/ibotnet-trojan.html And the last comment made me think about OpenBSD. The article closes by saying "this shows that no OS in inherently safe" but they are comparing Mac and Windows. Could the same also be said about OpenBSD. This here problem of downloading a dodgy copy of Photoshop which opens you up for a BotNet is something that can effect all OS's.but is that completely true? Can the same thing happen to an OpenBSD machine and is there no way around this? An OS is ultimately about the user as well, My XP machine is fine, but my friends are all ridden to shit, not so much these days with new'er Windows, but few years ago everyone's PC was a nightmare, so you take the risk downloading a file from BitTorrent of course, but is there measures to prevent this happening in the first place, is OpenBSD as open to this as Mac/Windows or is it inherently more secure (of course I know it is but im aiming that question more specifically at this kind of scenario) Chris
