is presented Issue of a free cross-platform Unix-like operating system OpenBSD 6.9 . It is noted that this is 50 release of the project to which this year will be 26 years old. The OpenBSD project was founded by TEO de Raadt (Theo de Raadt) in 1995 after a conflict with NetBSD developers, as a result of which the CVS access to the CVS repository was closed for TEO. After that, TEO de Ryadt with a group of like-minded people created a new open operating system on the basis of the source tree of the NetBSD tree, the main development objectives of which were portability ( supported 13 hardware platforms), standardization, correct operation, active safety and integrated cryptographic agents. The size of the total installation iso-image the OpenBSD 6.9 basic system is 544 MB.
except the operating system The project OpenBSD is known for its components that have been distributed in other systems and have proven themselves as one of the safest and qualitative solutions. Among them: Librassl (Fork OpenSSL), OpenSsh , Batch filter pf , Routing demons OpenBGPD and OpenOSPFD , NTP server OpenNTPD , mail server OpenSMTPD , text terminal multiplexer (Analog GNU Screen) Tmux , Demon Identd with implementation Ident Protocol, BSDL Alternative GNU Groff Package – mandoc , protocol for organizing failover CARP systems (Common Addness Redundancy Protocol), Light HTTP server , OpenRSync file sync utility.
