Hi,

Are all security patches applied to MAIN, already applied to the 
OPENBSD_4_0 stable branche?


If not, does this have any security consequences?

Thanks,

No, if you read the FAQ you'd see that -RELEASE differs from -STABLE,
however all the only security-based patches are announced on the
Errata page: http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html.

There are no security consequences. Even if there were, they would be
minor because OpenBSD is already so secure by default.

This does not mean OpenBSD systems can not be broken though! It is up
to you, the admin, to keep them secure.
