• WebbOS being rebuilt

  After some time of inactivity, we have decided to take up this project again, rebuilding it from scratch. We are starting over, redoing EVERYTHING. Maybe within a couple months, we may even have a bootable system. We're going to be getting the FreeBSD kernel source, and the FreeBSD gcc/gdb system brought over. The main interface for the system is being built currently. I do have people working on getting the FreeBSD kernel source working while I get the main shell (built in). Thanks for reading, lattera (project lead)

• MAJOR flaw with UNIX

  There is a MAJOR flaw with every distrobution of UNIX. If you change your HOME environment variable to "/root" you can succcessfully change to that directory and read (not write) files. In summary, you can "spy" on the root user. You can get all the files you want. The newer version (not uploaded, yet) will include functions to change your environment variables, however, we did not intend for the code to be used improperly. Thank you for reading this. PS - You can change the permissions on the "/root" folder (if you're super user) so that this flaw doesn't work.
