Forwarded from: matthew patton <pattonme () yahoo com> hmm, so what did the NSA do all that time they were evaluating Linux? They obviously didn't catch a bunch of buffer overflows etc. Do they catch much of anything in the rest of the operating systems they look at? Thing is commercial software that is also used in DoD is developed by overseas coders too. Heck, we have foreign nationals writing code while living here in the US of A. So where does it stop? Is DoD software only to be written by uniformed personnel who have undergone an exhaustive background check, have no foreign contacts and so forth? I'd hate to see the quality (or even quantity) of software that was put into such constraints. _________________________________________ ISN mailing list Sponsored by: OSVDB.org
