tell apple you're not satisfied with patch time (Score 4, Interesting)

If you're not satisfied that it's taken about a week to patch sendmail and OpenSSH, send them feedback. This is what I sent them (although I don't suggest you say exactly the same!):

I just wanted to make feedback regarding the fact that it's taken a whole week between reports of the OpenSSH and sendmail vulnerabilities and Apple releasing a patch.

As a long-time Unix user just entering the world of OS X (and mostly enjoying it very much), I wanted to note that the FreeBSD project released patches within 24 hours of initial reports, as did many Linux vendors, and that I would expect faster response time from Apple in the future. Delays have a negative effect on the PR image of Apple as well as being a pain for admins and end users!

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
