In all seriousness, the *BEST* thing you could do with your wishes to
help out the FreeBSD core team is:

1) Donate time to answering folks questions on Usenet or the mailing lists
and/or
2) Show off FreeBSD to your friends and co-workers.

That's it.  We do this for free, and not for $$.

(We do appreciate the offer though)

Because someone screwed up. :-(

>2) Where  is the source for the secrdist ?

In the secure directory (for USA users), and in South Africa for
the non-USA users).  See the FreeBSD-FAQ.
