1.6 deraadt 103: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 104: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
105: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
106: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 107: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
108: <p>
1.12 deraadt 109: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

116: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
117: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
118: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows

126: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
127: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 128: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
129: <p>
1.51 deraadt 130: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

1.31 deraadt 194: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's
195: trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not

197: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.
