Or simple flamebait. If so, it worked. Now pretending to take the article seriously for a few moments, I'd put it this way: the writer has decided that there will be one specific item that he equates with 'security'. Seeing that OpenBSD does not have that specific item, he declares that OpenBSD is not a secure system. Pretty much end of story. Either in the article itself or some of the followup (I forget and can not be bothered to check), he apparently took a peek at an installed OpenBSD system but either did not look to closely or was unable to understand what he saw, assuming daemons have to run as root at all times, for example. Not a deep analysis by a competent person, and please do not waste any more time on this thread. Much better to read up on various material the write obviously did not read, go to http://www.openbsd.org/papers/ and start somewhere. - P -- Peter N. M.
