Security through litigation:

"Our product is secure, because we will sue you if you say otherwise."

While HP may or may not be legally in the right -- I'll let the lawyers
decide that -- I'm the one going to be up at 3AM rebuilding a server some
blackhat crashed. And I don't get paid by the hour. I intend to have a
talk with the IS director about our future acquisition and use of HP
equipment.

Actually HP was pissed at Theo for what OpenSSH did.

It sounds like HP had to hire back the OSF/1 (oops mach opps
Utitrix oops Tru64) people back to make patches for OpenSSH.

Thanks,
