reading this whole discussion, did you ever considered if grey user, just like me, will ever care ? if backdooring major *bsd distribution will make a difference whether to choose OpenBSD or something else when it's really no real choice between backdoored or "not" backdoored distro have any matter ? even without such Theo's confesion with his so called private mail that got released to the public.. do i care? sure i do, but i don't have any alternative. i keep using it in hope that it's too serious for my needs. If someone want to invigilate me, i will check if A-Team is somewhere near my house, i would need to have serious reasons to worry. Pretty lame to worry about it, and me - grey user - well, prove or die, can't take such claims seriously if really skilled set of coders can't figure it out whether it's backdoored or not. I don't need such confession to stop using OpenBSD, it serve well for my purposes but i would use nothing that is well known, for critical communication. Some posts are paranoid about it, some IS MUST is annoying but sounds like the person does CARE about it. i don't. at least since it's not proved... sorry for my lame english. marry x-mass eve, stop please. or prove. (even if you do, prove me that the alternative is safe, no? 2bad). _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
