I saw this gem on their website and snickered:

"Built on a hardened operating system, it eliminates vulnerabilities and
costs associated with a separate firewall and operating system."

It certainly sounds like OpenBSD to me.  Can anyone confirm or deny
this?

I think it's funny how some companies build firewall products around
OpenBSD and don't bother to mention that fact, while others try to
capitalize off the fact that it is based upon OpenBSD.

The only modifications I see these companies doing is writing a
configuration management system for OpenBSD and tacking on software that
is available in ports.

Has anyone done work with or is aware of any freely available management
interfaces for OpenBSD?  I know of webmin, but it's hardly suitable for
OpenBSD and they seem to have the "security? not my problem" attitude.
