Have you considered the possibility that I choose OpenBSD specifically for its security stance? phpBB runs on any *NIX or Windows, you know. As I said, I don't trust it to be secure. But I do trust Theo and his team to build the most secure base possible on which to run it. A bullet-proof BB is useless if the underlying OS gets rooted every other day. A marginal BB can work if restoration is only as far away as a restore of /var/www.
