1.12 ! deraadt 65: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
! 66: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
! 67: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further

77: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
78: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
