1.6 deraadt 108: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 109: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
110: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
111: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 112: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
113: <p>

132: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 133: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.

1.51 deraadt 135: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
