[Tfug] Is Panther considered a Free Unix?

[Harry McGregor]

My view on it, is that any security issues that is "high risk" should
probably be mentioned, if it's dealing with almost any Unix OS,
including OS-X/ Solaris/ etc.

The reason for this, is with some very limited exceptions (kernel stuff,
some OS stuff), most of the software on top of these platforms is either
GNU or BSD based.  The OpenSSH problems effected Solaris 9, some Cisco
ISO products, and many other comercial products.

Also we do have a large number of solaris and OS-X users on the list.
