Most companies use OpenBSD on to secure their periphery, especially with pf. Though there is no direct link, there is something that suggests it: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=114780959425558 Quiet a few OpenBSD and OpenSSH developers work at Google, as well. Though none of the above guarantee or force Google to use OpenBSD, lack of a similar or better secure OS may be one reason why a company like Google will consider using OpenBSD. :-) -Amarendra _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
