1.6 deraadt 101: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 102: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
103: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
104: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 105: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
106: <p>
1.12 deraadt 107: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

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

1.6 deraadt 123: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
124: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
125: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 126: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
127: <p>
1.51 deraadt 128: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
