enabling linux binary emulation .. could it harm ?
Hi !
To what extend could linux binary emulation when enabled weaken OpenBSD security ? |

Thank you very much !!
I hope this not again a thread hijacking recurrence :-) * Opera as emulated on OpenBSD 5.2 bears the 5.1 bug too : Abort trap . So I always do a make reinstall before reusing it ater reboot. * Opera as emulated on NetBSD 6.0_BETA2 (GENERIC) : a bit faster and bug-free .. $ opera --version for NetBSD : Code:
Opera 11.62 Build 1347 for Linux i386. Or is it because the OpenBSD Team are not putting effort to this particular port because it's a closed source and contradicts the followed policy ? Or maybe some reason ?? |

Because the new information being presented which takes the tenor of discussion in a different direction, yes, daemonfowl, you have hijacked discussion yet again.
This would have been good information to include in your original message. Being upfront with the fundamental problem you wish to discuss helps you & helps anyone who might respond frame their response(s). |

Sir ocicat , believe me , I'm developping a Thread-Hijacking Phobia !
Here is what I did : * I asked about binary emulation under OpenBSD and whether/how it might be a security risk. * I brought an example I have in front of me : Opera. * I added info about it on both OpenBSD (security-aware) & NetBSD (portability-driven) to conclude maybe that : security as tightened on OpenBSD may be a cause that emulated software don't run as expected while on NetBSD it just runs .. maybe not .. you help me discover it :-) |

daemonfowl, this isn't medieval England. Wearing chainmail is no longer in vogue. You don't have to refer to us as "Sir".

ocicat : I repent .. :-) .. I was trying to show respect to those who are offering constant support to a dumbbie.
jggimi : I mentioned version for reference only , as I mentioned NetBSD kern.version. Quote:
