<![CDATA[Daily drivers and corporate usage policies]]>At work we are uing BSDs extensivly for almost all aspects, except as hardware crypto modules (HSMs). We are also using BSDs as workstations for the daily toil. This of course require a set of usage policies to formalise what is accepted and not.

I'm glad we managed to get NetBSD into the official company policy with the following condition

Must run on workstation/laptop hardware. Coffee brewers, 
toasters or other household appliances are explicitly forbidden 
from accessing production network.

On a sader note, OpenBSD is no longer allowed access, when 7.7 goes out of official support in a few weeks time, due to the decision to remove yubikey-otp keyboard support in the kernel from 7.8.

Oh well

Cheers and RunBSD!
