95: in which future problems may be encountered.

1.6 deraadt 104: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 105: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
106: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
107: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 108: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
109: <p>
1.12 deraadt 110: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

117: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
118: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
119: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
120: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

1.32 deraadt 128: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
129: <p>
1.6 deraadt 130: Almost 100 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates at <a

193: <p>
1.31 deraadt 194: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's

196: used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
197: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.

207: <a href=http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipsec&sektion=4&format=html>IPsec</a>

209: successful, both for the technology in general, and for OpenBSD in
210: specific. We managed to communicate encrypted with every vendor present,
211: and to negotiate keys via IKE with everyone capable.
