1.49 deraadt 81: At this conference, Theo presented an evening talk which basically
82: turned into a list of fixed security problems and cautionary tales about

1.6 deraadt 94: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 95: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
96: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
97: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 98: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
99: <p>
1.12 deraadt 100: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

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

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

184: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
185: <p>
1.31 deraadt 186: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's
187: trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not
188: used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
189: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.
