Everyone is well aware of the existance of the settlement of the
BSDI/USL/Berkeley suit, Theo. I don't think this need be proven any
more than anyone need prove that the civil war happened.
I doubt the suit had anything to do with NetBSD core members pulling
4.4BSD files off vangogh and incorporating them into the NetBSD source
tree.
I have been told by NetBSD core members that if there weren't these
dirty files in the source tree they would LONG AGO have had an
anoncvs-like service. And many people have been asking you. We could
use a NetBSD anoncvs-like service to better integrate NetBSD changes
into OpenBSD.
This also does not clear up the issue of the alpha locore.s changes.
Is Chris Demetriou going to make a statement? Are other NetBSD
members going to make a statement about why it took so long to
resolve?
Of course, NONE of this clears up why NetBSD developers are using this
forum as a playground for suggesting OpenBSD is being badly developed
or that the OpenBSD developers are being sloppy in their changes.
Very few of your developers are the OpenBSD mailing lists, how would
you even know enough to judge?
I also still want to know how NetBSD developers could make such
comments at the cypherpunks meeting. Hmm, I should dig up that quote.
Whoohoo! New mail!

Update of /a/cvsroot/src/domestic/usr.sbin/kerberos
In directory netbsd1:/var/slash-tmp/cvs-serv29556
Modified Files:
kerberos.c
Log Message:
Fixes from OpenBSD: bzero a buffer before filling it with error data to send on the network (!), and some sprintf -> snprintf.
I guess that was another of our misguided changes, right! That fix is
not directly from OpenBSD; it is from mudge@l0pht.com and I think you
should have been careful enough to give credit to him for the
discovery of that problem. (It's a fix for a security hole too, and
it was fixed in OpenBSD 2.0)
