: OS/2 has, as i understand, a B-grade security classification (UNIX is
: C-2; i think VMS is B grade with the security option installed).

  this may be totally incorrect, but I believe that ratings are given to
individual setups, not packages.  I think I've read that a C rating is for
software, and B is for hardware (or hardware/software).  I don't know what
os2 has received, but I read about one site applying for a B2
certification.  I've read that these certifications were set up in the early 
80's and are now somewhat obsolete.
