Perhaps I'm mistaken, but these statements seem to show a bit of an attitude. The "attitude problem" evident in the OpenBSD web page is that many of the features seem to be described in terms of what the NetBSD folks screwed up or are too lazy to do, but that he graciously did correctly and quickly. Not to mention that one of the first things he bothers to mention about his version is that it's "not political". Such statements made so soon always sound political to me. -- James Gritton - gritton@byu.edu - I disclaim - "
