Is FreeBSD so insecure that it must be patched every few days? I hardly
ever see FreeBSD security issues on Bugtraq, and the ones I see often
have nothing to do with Net attacks. A properly configured FreeBSD
server with no local logins should be quite secure. The only problem
I've ever had resulted from a bug in Apache, and Apache obviously isn't
part of FreeBSD.
