	Pesticide Consumer Alert
		The Environmental Protection Agency is issuing this Alert to all pesticide industry organizations, facilities, and handlers as a precaution during this heightened state of security awareness.
		Without effective security procedures, your business may be vulnerable to both internal and external threats, posing risks to yourself and employees, your building and machinery, stored pesticides, and even sensitive business information.
		Securing Buildings, Manufacturing Facilities, Storage Areas, and Surrounding Property: One of the most fundamental security needs is the prevention of intrusion to areas used to manufacture or store pesticides and other toxic chemicals.

	OpenBSD Security
		We are not so much looking for security holes, as we are looking for basic software bugs, and if years later someone discovers the problem used to be a security issue, and we fixed it because it was just a bug, well, all the better.
		Security is like an arms race; the best attackers will continue to search for more complicated exploits, so we will too.
		January 17, 2002: There is a security hole in sudo(8) that can be exploited when the Postfix sendmail replacement is installed that may allow an attacker on the local host to gain root privileges.

	Security Alert (washingtonpost.com)
		Some of the information reportedly in al Qaeda's possession, on the structure of the buildings and their security, had been collected over a period of years.
		World Bank President James D. Wolfensohn told his colleagues yesterday that "there is no information that indicates a specific time for these attacks."

		Over time, officials say, new security procedures in the target areas will be made permanent, but in the meantime, pedestrians and drivers will be subjected to unexpected inconveniences, such as closed streets and police checks.
