OpenBSD user references

[Chris Cameron <chris_(_at_)_upnix_(_dot_)_com>]

First off I've read http://www.openbsd.org/users.html.


A company I'm working with is interested in replacing their current 
firewall with a redundant OpenBSD firewall. They've given me a list of 
concerns that I've been addressing, however one of them I've not had 
much luck with.


They're a company regulated by several different bodies and as such are 
subject to external audits. Their concern is the auditors are going to 
have issue with the firewall. Whether it appears they're not willing to 
spend money on critical infrastructure, or just running something 
"unproven".


References to other companies that go under external audits I'm thinking 
would be my best bet to addressing this, and I'm hoping someone who 
reads this will know of such a company.

Failing that I'm told that companies that are "well recognized" would 
also help.


The reason users.html isn't going to work for me is because there's no 
name and number I can give to the management-types to call. Adobe is 
impressive, but how old is that?


Any help on this would be appreciated. The reference(s) would only be 
called once to verify; it wouldn't need to be an on going thing.


Thanks,
Chris
