Security has it's place. There are certainly gobs of value to having a security focused platform, that benefits even those who view it as a bunch of "masturbating monkeys".
But in Linus' defense, it's not like the Linux platform has ever benefited from anything OpenBSD did. Like OpenSSH, which the OpenBSD team developed and pretty much every Linux distribution takes advantage of...
- tptacek 18y agoIt's too bad, because we'd benefit from another well-maintained implementation of SSH. OpenSSH has had its problems.
- there 18y agoi can't wait to see matasano's cross-platform ssh implementation that will be bug free now and forever. let us know when you guys write it.
- tptacek 18y agoI don't know where you're reading the "I could do it better" part from. The Internet does have a history of "hard" protocols being deployed almost entirely from a single gene pool: BIND, CMU SNMP, and SSH are three great examples, and two of those three are epic security failures.
