1.6 deraadt 151: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 152: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
153: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
154: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 155: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
156: <p>
1.12 deraadt 157: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

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

175: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 176: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.

1.51 deraadt 178: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

388: products, both gateways and hosts, for interoperability. The tests
389: were successful as far as general IPsec and pre-shared key
390: authentication went, OpenBSD interoperated with everyone, but due to
391: time constraints we never got to test the certificate support
