1.6 deraadt 143: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 144: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
145: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
146: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 147: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).

380: products, both gateways and hosts, for interoperability. The tests
381: were successful as far as general IPsec and pre-shared key
382: authentication went, OpenBSD interoperated with everyone, but due to
383: time constraints we never got to test the certificate support
384: appropriately. The results will be presented later this fall at a

386: certificate tests.
