1.6 deraadt 80: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 81: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
82: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
83: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 84: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
85: <p>
1.12 deraadt 86: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

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

104: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 105: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
106: <p>
1.51 deraadt 107: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

1.31 deraadt 165: Usenix donated us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,
1.32 deraadt 166: 2.3 "wire-frame" t-shirts, and the new 2.4 embroidered
167: "Because security matters..." t-shirts, polos, and sweaters.

169: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
170: <p>

172: trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not
173: used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
174: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.
