How many discussions with >Theo have you had about security issues? None, recently. Despite the claim on the OpenBSD web page that the OpenBSD developers want to set aside `politics' and work on a purely technical basis, Theo some time ago made a decision that I was politically unacceptable (a `traitor,' he called me) and now refuses to talk to me even on technical matters, despite several purely technical overtures from my direction. Keep in mind, Jason, I was preparing actively to contribute to OpenBSD, before Theo introduced a political element and decided that he didn't want me around any more. I've pointed this out before. cjs -- Curt Sampson cjs@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
