bindfs is a FUSE filesystem for mounting a directory to another location, similar to 'mount --bind' in Linux or nullfs in BSD. The permissions of the mirrored directory can be altered in various ways. Some things bindfs can be used for: - Making a directory read-only. - Making all executables non-executable. - Sharing a directory with a list of users (or groups). - Modifying permission bits using rules with chmod-like syntax. - Changing the permissions with which files are created. Non-root users can use almost all features, but most interesting use-cases need user_allow_other to be defined in /etc/fuse.conf
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
