is open source more secure ?

Hi Guys, I'd like to know your opinion. A friend of mine claims, an open source OS like linux is more secure than a closed one like AIX because 'if he is hacked, he can do countermeasures'. I believe the opposite is the case - it's more secure if not everybody knows the kernel and is able to... (6 Replies)

CATGETS(3P)						     POSIX Programmer's Manual						       CATGETS(3P)

PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond- ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux. NAME
catgets -- read a program message SYNOPSIS
#include <nl_types.h> char *catgets(nl_catd catd, int set_id, int msg_id, const char *s); DESCRIPTION
The catgets() function shall attempt to read message msg_id, in set set_id, from the message catalog identified by catd. The catd argument is a message catalog descriptor returned from an earlier call to catopen(). The results are undefined if catd is not a value returned by catopen() for a message catalog still open in the process. The s argument points to a default message string which shall be returned by catgets() if it cannot retrieve the identified message. The catgets() function need not be thread-safe. RETURN VALUE
If the identified message is retrieved successfully, catgets() shall return a pointer to an internal buffer area containing the null-termi- nated message string. If the call is unsuccessful for any reason, s shall be returned and errno shall be set to indicate the error. ERRORS
The catgets() function shall fail if: EINTR The read operation was terminated due to the receipt of a signal, and no data was transferred. ENOMSG The message identified by set_id and msg_id is not in the message catalog. The catgets() function may fail if: EBADF The catd argument is not a valid message catalog descriptor open for reading. EBADMSG The message identified by set_id and msg_id in the specified message catalog did not satisfy implementation-defined security crite- ria. EINVAL The message catalog identified by catd is corrupted. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
