Jorge:

I appreciated your willingness to post information about the subject at
hand, however I don't think the mailing list is the correct place for
'Redmond Magazine' propaganda.

I would also like to point out as of yet, the existence of a backdoor has
yet to be confirmed.

Below are two link you may enjoying reading to update your knowledge of the
matter at hand:

FBI: THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INSTALLATION
If WikiLeaks taught us anything, it's that our government (heck, pretty
much all governments) does a lot of things behind our backs. Some of
this is necessary and justified, and some seems just stupid and
sometimes evil.

Now an ex-consultant for the FBI says a decade ago the bureau modified
OpenBSD (you can do that since it is open source). It didn't improve
security or performance. Nah, the feds installed a backdoor so it could
spy on U.S. attorneys who used the OS.

The charges, made by Greg Perry, were denounced by an OpenBSD developer
as poppycock.

This is a bit different from WikiLeaks as Perry claims his charges were
meant to be private and to serve as notice to get the OpenBSD code
fully audited.

It will, I think, take an audit to get the bottom of this fiasco.
