OpenSolaris Wins!

February 13, 2007 10:32 am General

Yay! OpenSolaris hit Slashdot around the in.telnetd vulnerability. Alan has an excellent blog post of the timeline inside Sun and how a patch was provided. From my point of view, it’s a great win for the OpenSolaris project. It means the code is getting reviewed by a bigger volume of people and the vulnerabilities are getting found. The obvious benefits of open source really in my mind overshadow the obvious temporary embarrassment. The community is growing.
