    Actually, OpenSSH, along with Sendmail, tends to be one of the first things I make a point of disabling on any new installation that I make. Every time I read a security alert, they're either talking about one or the other.

    I laugh at the idea of giving one thin dime to theo OR his elitist superstructure!

    No, this tells the story of OpenBSD 3.4, which is to say the OpenBSD that was out a full 3 years ago. If you don't have anything relevent to the real world, why make a comment like this?

    If you'd be bothered to read some day, you'd know that the 2.9.5.3 gcc version is for hardware that is not supported by the more recent versions of gcc. The developers of gcc do not support as many platforms as OpenBSD does and thus the OpenBSD developers must either port the gcc to their platforms or use the older gcc version that still supported those hardware versions. OpenBSD uses 3.3.5 of the gcc for most platforms because it's not as dog-fuck slow as gcc 4.

    I told people to read the Wikipedia articles which explain things clearly enough that even the thickest dullard would be able to understand, so I didn't think I had to make an essay out of it - but yes, I was explicitly saying OpenSSH is developed by OpenBSD, OpenSSH uses OpenSSL, but OpenSSL is developed by OpenSSL.
