1.132 louis 2380: implementations who were tested for interoperability. The tests were
2381: successful, both for the technology in general, and for OpenBSD in

2383: and to negotiate keys via IKE with everyone capable.

1.132 louis 2390: More than 10 OpenBSD team members showed up. By far, OpenBSD was the
2391: largest representative group from free software at the conference.
2392: Usenix gave us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,
1.413 grunk 2393: 2.3 "wire-frame" T-shirts, and the new 2.4 embroidered
2394: "Because security matters..." T-shirts, polos, and sweaters.

1.690 nick 2398: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously trust in OpenBSD
2399: had increased since many people, normally wary of security problems of open
