Subject: Secure Kernel's versus Unix or NT

I am looking for some information which compares the problems and issues
of running Firewall systems on a real-time kernel versus on an existing
operating system such as Unix or NT.

I would like to get a better understanding of where the problems exist and
what issues may arise.  I understand that most OS based systems will
"harden" up the OS, but I still wonder how many loop-holes are left out
there.

Thanks,
Greg
