    This is hard to believe, is this the leader of the OpenBSD project saying he won't tell anyone at FreeBSD if he finds a hole that affects every FreeBSD installation? Or am I misunderstanding that message?

    Context-free mailing list drama (starring Theo de Raadt)? Seems perfectly flagworthy.

    See this e-mail from Bob Beck (of the OpenBSD Foundation):

    There is no security hole, he says.

    No, just someone crumpy about lack of funding.
