    Over the last few weeks I've written a new web page about the security
    auditing `stance' OpenBSD has.  This page also serves as a dropping
    ground for any security advisories and patches which we make
    available.  There's 6 security related patches for OpenBSD 2.2
    available now.  Yes, 2.2 does have some security problems, we are
    still finding holes... but 2.3 is coming soon!
    
    I think OpenBSD users can now consider this web page to be the one
    regular stop neccessary to see if any new OpenBSD security patches
    exist.  This is a very easy way for me to distribute patches for
    security problems, especially since I don't need to write more than 5
    lines of description.  Expect security patches to be released VERY
    quickly through this web page.
    
    The new page is at
    
            http://www.openbsd.org/security.html
    
    Secondly, a new page which talks about how OpenBSD uses cryptography
    to assist in security sensitive areas might be interesting to some of
    you as well.
