1.6 deraadt 142: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 143: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
144: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
145: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 146: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
147: <p>
1.12 deraadt 148: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

1.32 deraadt 167: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.

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