1.12 deraadt 98: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
99: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
100: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 101: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
102: <p>
1.12 deraadt 103: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

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

113: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

122: <p>
1.6 deraadt 123: Almost 100 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates at <a

186: <p>
1.31 deraadt 187: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's
188: trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not
189: used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
190: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.
