1.6 deraadt 106: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 107: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
108: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
109: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 110: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).

119: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
120: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated

130: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 131: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.

1.51 deraadt 133: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
