1.6 deraadt 86: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 87: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
88: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
89: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 90: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
91: <p>
1.12 deraadt 92: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

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

1.32 deraadt 111: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
112: <p>
1.51 deraadt 113: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

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