"Only one remote hole in the default install, in more than 7 years!" I take it that it means there has been only one remote hole in the default install a one 7-year stretch, whether that includes this year or not, it doesn't say. 1990-1997 is a 7-year stretch. 1991-1998 is a 7-year stretch. By default install, it means the default install of any openbsd in that 7-year stretch, not specific on one. It's pretty tricky that the marketting strategists over there wrote up that sentence, but if it sells one more license, then so be it.

Unless you think that claim is also untrue.That claim is certainly untrue. If you take a default install from 7 years back, you certainly have more remote holes, in services that have since been removed from the default install -- looking 7 years back from *current* default install, not default install *7 years back*. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
