This is my method to dual-boot NetBSD and Archilnux in my laptop. Please, feel free to comment everything I'm doing wrong. I'm not exactly an expert on the topic.
I have no idea how to do full-disk-encryption with NetBSD in UEFI systems. Closest thing I can do is plain-text rootfs and encrypted `/home`, `/var`, `/usr` and swap. So, it's secure enough if my laptop get lost or stolen. I wrote [a post](https://vsis.online/posts/2024-05-27-uefi-full-disk-encryption/) about how I do that. If anyone can guide me to a rootfs on CGD or LVM, I'd appreciate that.
NetBSD 10 RC 4 [https://www.netbsd.org/releases/formal-10/NetBSD-10.0.html](https://www.netbsd.org/releases/formal-10/NetBSD-10.0.html) Almost 10 :) [@netbsd](https://blendit.bsd.cafe/c/netbsd)
NetBSD 10.0 RC 3 is out [https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/netbsd\_10\_0\_rc3\_available](https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/netbsd_10_0_rc3_available) [@netbsd](https://blendit.bsd.cafe/c/netbsd)

Almost every NetBSD user knows about [pkgsrc](http://www.pkgsrc.org/), the equivalent of FreeBSD port system. You can use it on NetBSD of course, but also on other Unix-like OS like *BSD or Linux. Besides that, there is also [pkgsrc/wip](http://www.pkgsrc.org/wip/), where new maintainers can practise their skills. It may be worth taking a look there, whether you want to contribute or to find a package not present in the main pkgsrc tree. You also have [pkgin](https://pkgin.net/), equivalent to FreeBSD's pkg. Finally, [Joyent](http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/) proposes prebuilt packages for a variety of platforms.
A vulnerability in the NetBSD FTP server allows unauthenticated users to execute MLST and MLSD commands without authentication. This can lead to information leakage - unauthorized party may be able to download the listing of the current ftpd(8) directory. This vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2023-45198. Additionally, potential buffer overflow in count_users() and reading outside of allocated memory issues due to wrong struct type used in the pam_set_item() call have been identified.
NetBSD sysupgrade [\#openBSD](https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/openBSD) upgrade tool is praised, and with reason. From what Ijust read, [#NetBSD](https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD) [#sysupgrade](https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/sysupgrade) one is also a great tool : [https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-upgrading.html](https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-upgrading.html) let's try the crosspost [@netbsd](https://blendit.bsd.cafe/c/netbsd)
