Thanks, Ted, I know a lot of users were curious about those fixes. Have a gander at -stable!

Does that mean the release version has had known remote exploits for 4 days now?

My main box have been 3.0->3.1 and will now be upgraded to 3.2. What shall i do with the apps from the ports tree (and other packages) that i installed under 3.0/3.1. Do i have to uninstall/reinstall the new version of the pkg or just leave it until something breaks? Will it break?

and if you're brave enough, give a try to the UBC branch of the kernel.

Art seems to be working hard on it. I'm running it and nothing bad happened so far except a noticeable performance improvement. Great, great, great, definitively great!

Not a single patch on http://www.openbsd.org/errata.htm

Typically, OpenBSD keeps security holes secret!

From http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html:
"A buffer overflow can occur in the kadmind(8) daemon, leading to possible remote crash or exploit."

Then the claim "One remote hole in the default install, in nearly 6 years!" should be updated to "Two remote holes in the default install, in nearly 6 years!"

If not I would like an explanation to why not.

Are patches made for Apache when security holes are found?

I think I was forced to install Apace by hand since a patch wasn't released for a security issue with Apache.

Nice, but the pf and apache patches is still missing form http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html :(

When is it going to be updated?
If not then why not?

001: SECURITY FIX: October 21, 2002

NO, I wasn't released on the 21. of October!
Why use wrong dates, maybe to hide something?
