1.6 deraadt 95: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 96: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
97: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
98: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 99: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).

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

119: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 120: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
121: <p>
1.51 deraadt 122: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
