Editor’s Note

Dear Readers,

Most people involved in Unix claim that BSD systems are one of the most secure OS’s for our computers. Bearing

that in mind, we decided to prove it by devoting this issue to BSD security. Another focus for this issue is OpenBSD,

which in fact, is said to be the most secure in the BSD family. Our authors prepared a quick how-to for those who

are just beginning and a few articles for people who already know what it is all about.

So, if you are having problems with protecting your computer and you spent the last few days thinking about how to

make it secure, this issue is definitely a good start for you.

We did not forget about all you BSD users who do not favour OpenBSD much. You will find articles concerning Net-

BSD webservers, PC-BSD security and Postgresql on FreeBSD.

So stop worrying whether your system is secure or not – make it happen!
