The GNU kermel should be 4.3BSD +(things) + (security features)
Since GNU will be distributed in a source code form for next to
nothing cost, it will be very attractive to small schools or
companies that want to run UNIX but their gurus want source code.
In anything but an environment where you have just a handful of people
working on the system who know what they are doing, you have to
have the security features.

What security features don't you want? Separate userids and passwords?
file protection modes? disk quotas? checking the name of a system
uucping in? .......
