1.6 deraadt 120: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 121: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
122: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
123: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 124: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).

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

144: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 145: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.

1.51 deraadt 147: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
