And therein lies some of the problem with the OpenBSD community. Don't get me wrong, I like OpenBSD, I use it, and have donated to the project. But here we have a user that has security concerns, and rather than either admit there's a problem or point out why there's no security hole, the answer given is just that it's secure "because it is". That wouldn't fill me with confidence if I was looking to deploy an OpenBSD system. I'm worried that some are getting complacent about OpenBSD's security here... Maybe it's a troll. Maybe not. Can we afford to be turning away potential users on the off chance? Tet -- The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function -- Albert Bartlett
