1.6 deraadt 121: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 122: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
123: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
124: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 125: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
126: <p>
1.12 deraadt 127: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

134: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
135: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
136: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows

145: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 146: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
147: <p>
1.51 deraadt 148: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
