It would seem to be begging to get hack'd themselves... :-) [Or, at least, that is, `telnet openbsd.com' claims they are running FreeBSD, but given the nature of openbsd.com that could be faked...] I really have no idea what the fellow doing this has against OpenBSD. Quickly checking some OpenBSD mail archives, his name didn't show up... [basing "his name" on ``whois openbsd.com'']. [To answer the question, NO. OpenBSD did not hack FreeBSD. OpenBSD is an operating system. Quite experienced individuals did break into the main FreeBSD.ORG computers previously, but, to the best of my knowledge, they were never caught. Obviously, if these individuals were related to OpenBSD it would be quite damaging (to all Free BSDs), and anyone suggesting such better have damn good evidence beyond the state of the FreeBSD-OpenBSD relationship at the time of the break-in.] -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
