Not even Henning can tell you something about that. I "hop2 they didn#t missed anything... but apache (wich ships with openBSD) should be secure enought. > beacause there's newer version...(i think it's very secure, but could you > convince me?)

I don#t know the mod but if you wanna limit the bandwith you could maybe also use pf. > I do fancy FreeBSD's apache 1.3.33+ipv6 support but i don't know > If > i can install it on my OpenBSD server.

So try PureFTPD from the Ports. WWW? -> apachectl start ,) ssh? Is already included... Theo is "member" in both projects so I guess OpenBSD gets always the latest stable ssh before it's relaesed at OpenSSH.org ;) > I would really appreciate your reliable answer. > Thanks in advice.
