Real reasons are:
- low risk of remote exploit b/c OpenBSD is so strong
- low cost if machine gets cracked (see backups)
- strong passwords, strong limits on local users
- physical protection to keyboard
- paranoid logging of all unexpected messages via logsurfer
- automated off-site backups
- lots of other stuff on my plate that is higher risk

with the other daemons in base, w.r.t logging a client
connection.

Yup. Or just use snapshots and donate. (You can find my name
listed on the donations page.)
