I am told that we are close to fixing all the issues that were found from the 
Nov intrusion. I asked my same source about using parts of PCBSD. The answer I 
got was the PCBSD package system was not compatible with the FreeBSD package 
system. This is my understanding so all errors are mine. This is also a plea for 
people with first hand information to chip in. Thanks.
