Some work. However, OpenBSD goes through code audits all the time - it's
often been the case then when Yet Another Vulnerability came up on
Bugtraq, OpenBSD had it fixed about 6 months previously :-)
ObCC: Out of interest, how many people here are running OpenBSD on VAX? Is
there anything to beware of (I'd network boot it), more so that using
NetBSD/VAX (which I have been using successfully)?

I am running it on my 3100/80, no real problems I could think of, though
it took ages to generate an ssh key, so the first boot took a little
while.
Other than that, it comes with more software than say NetBSD (nothing that
I never compiled anyway).
Also one thing though I cant remember 100% is that the net boot
procedure may be a little differnt.
