I have had a lot of problems with what they are doing. But what did you pay for Sendmail? Was it a dollar, or was it more? Let me guess. It was much less than a dollar. I bet you paid nothing. So does anyone owe you anything, let alone a particular process which you demand with such length? Now, the same holds true with OpenSSH. I'll tell you what. If there is ever a security problem (again :) in OpenSSH we will disclose it exactly like we want, and in no other way, and quite frankly since noone has ever paid a cent for it's development they have nothing they can say about it. Dear non-paying user -- please remember your place. Or run something else. OK? Luckily within a few months you will be able to tell Sendmail how to disclose their bugs because their next version is going to come out with a much more commercial licence. Then you can pay for it, and then you can complain too. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
