   In another FUD-fighting article, security writer Kurt Seifried and
   Bastille Linux project leader Jay Beale refute a recent well-circulated
   article saying open source software is more vulnerable because the
   black hats can find bugs just by reading the source. If this were the
   case, they argue, OpenBSD could not have achieved its security record.
   They counter the claim by demolishing &quot;security through
   obscurity&quot;, the myth that just won't go away.

   In a review of FreeBSD 3.4, the author, Clifford Smith, was impressed
   enough about OpenBSD to say &quot;<i>OpenBSD is probably the most secure
   distribution out of the box because it comes with a source code that has
   been given a complete security audit. It also comes with KERBEROS enabled
   out of the chute, OpenSSL and ssh is part of the distro now, too. IPFilter
   works immediately. Just Brilliant.&quot;</i>
