Well, by buying the release CD you get a fairly secure method of getting the majority of the bits. (Most snail-mails take security at least a little bit serious). > # Secure By Default. > OpenBSD uses broken WEP for securing WiFi networks. > Has no WPA/WPA2 support. Do you have a need for WPA/WPA2 support? Please feel free to submit patches to implement this functionality. I'm sure that a nuymber of people will be pleased. > # Do not let serious problems sit unsolved. > OpenBSD doesn't need MAC because it has their own security flawed systrace. MAC? As in mandatory access control? Sure we have it. Any unix out there has it. It's called a uid and a list of gid's. Now, if that does not fit your needs, you have options. > # Use of Cryptography. > OpenBSD uses file-backed encryption (svnd) which is very suited > for Full-disk-encryption. NOT.

If your network/systems are setup in such a way that a DoS causes a security issue, the insecure portion is your system, not the machine that happens to tank. > # Easy maintainable. > OpenBSD distributes source patches to make your farm of > Pentium2 firewalls updated easly. I've never had a problem.

Nah, we sell you real CD's. The FTP servers are there for the convenience of people much less annoying than you. :) > Disclaimer: Like it or not.

I'd prefer a toilet, but if you're really in the mood, I'm sure there is a place on the internet looking for someone with your particular type of phantasy... *shrug* to each his own I guess. -Toby.
