I'm sorry, but am I missing something here? I've heard lots of people
complaining about how secure various OSes (IRIX, Solaris, etc.) are 'out of the
box'. Who cares? How long does it take to secure any modern Unix OS? I mean,
just because an OS comes out of it's box in a more secure state than another
does NOT make it a better os!
