Custom OpenBSD 3.0 with IPFilter From Darren Reed
rjk191 writes: "Darren Reed, the author of IPFilter, has created his own release of OpenBSD which puts IPFilter back in. IPFilter was removed from OpenBSD 3.0 by the OpenBSD team due to license issues. See his newsgroup posting that announces it here." Here's the whole thread for some more information.
OpenBSD's main tenet is that security is the most important part of the distribution. This rogue distribution is using OpenBSD's name (is this allowed? Anyone?); is it still following OpenBSD's strictures regarding security, such as a full source audit before release?
I can't say that I don't give a fuck. I've just run out of fuck to give.
One important thing to note (and left out of this announcement) is that Darren will be including bootable ISOs with his releases. This is a great move, as I've always run into trouble with the hacked together OpenBSD unofficial ISOs. I'm also not too keen on using a 6-month-old firewall with who knows how many fixes needed in the future, and am glad IPF is back in the game with a OpenBSD-alike release that I can grab and run with. Good job to everyone involved!
Interested in open source engine management for your Subaru?
because a loser is a loser....
Just remember that this is only made possible with the BSD license.
Remember, Theo said that it was fine by him to use OpenBSD for whatever reason you want.
Had the OpenBSD kernel been GPL'ed, Darren would have had to make ipfilter work in OpenBSD userland.
hush up retard, go tweak your X
