[gordon dunlop]

An OpenBSD developer claims that the FBI implemented backdoors in OpenBSD,
particularly in the IPSEC networking stack that deals with the VPN
encryption system.

As this code was written in about 2000 and the code was also incorporated
into other systems/projects, I wonder if there will be a great panic in the
code checking of present systems, here is the  Wikipedia entry on IPSEC  and
its software implimentations in various systems.
