Except they don't make that claim, OpenBSD claims two _remote_ security holes in the last ten years, which is entirely different from only two security holes.

People do the same thing using variants of the Linux kernel. The bsd kernel is nothing special in that regard :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
