I've been dealing with Sun for 12 years. I've never heard anyone make this claim. And in truth, as we all know, it doesn't take 3 months to test a patch.
Allow me to repeat his experience. The socket ioctl hole that allowed any user to demolish your entire lan was reported to Sun, I got a message from Casper acking it and saying he'd fixed it. Over twelve months later and after posting exploits to bugtraq the patch finally got released. I'm quite fond of sun kit - they make nice boxes, but they have _real_ problems somewhere in the management structure for releasing patches/updates. Alan
