How many privilege escalation attacks (normal user getting a root shell) has OpenBSD had during the last five years? There have been several of these in the Linux kernel (one just this month). We tested the latest one and it worked against a fully-patched RHEL box that had the SELinux "restrictive" policy in place. I don't mean this as bashing Linux, just pointing out facts. I think history shows that OpenBSD has a better track record here (if that means anything to anyone). Brad
