Some work. However, OpenBSD goes through code audits all the time - it's
often been the case then when Yet Another Vulnerability came up on
Bugtraq, OpenBSD had it fixed about 6 months previously :-)
ObCC: Out of interest, how many people here are running OpenBSD on VAX? Is
there anything to beware of (I'd network boot it), more so that using
NetBSD/VAX (which I have been using successfully)?
