Either way, your comments are without merit.  If one looks at the record of
OpenBSD and OpenSSH it is certainly way better than the other software out
there.
Really ?  I think you'll find that there are quite a number of people,
aside from myself, who think that the "1 exploit in X years" is on one
end of it as misleading and the other end, a lie, excluding this current
openssh problem.

so? the statement is entirely true.
proof that the current problem (which is in really really old code 
from the original ssh btw) is remotely exploitable and we increase the 
counter.

i find it quite disgusting that you need to use any forum that even 
remotely touches openbsd to spread this FUD.
