</strong></font><br>

Kurt Seifried reviews OpenBSD 2.6 and finds new features like <a 
href="http://www.openssh.com/">OpenSSH</a>, Apache
DSOs, and new device drivers. He also finds comfort in an old friend, the
&quot;secure by default&quot; installation.

We really like Simson when he writes <i>&quot;But if you're trying to get the
most for your money or if you want a higher level of security, take a look at
the BSDs. The rewards can be considerable.&quot;</i> But he misses the point 
about strong crypto because of the fuss over 128-bit browsers. The RSA patent
has been a more effective muzzle on innovation than the export prohibitions.
Also note OpenBSD and FreeBSD also integrate IPv6 in their current codebase.

who may unknowingly leave installation holes, or inadvertently create some. 
The OpenBSD sidebar explains the goals and purpose of OpenBSD, and highlights
its reputation among security experts.

Linux columnist Evan Leibovitch notes a small victory for open source

He quotes Theo mentioning that the RSA patent has had a far greater
chilling effect on US-based cryptography than the export prohibitions.
