The IPSEC allegations have produced a flurry of blog posts and
suchlike, mostly just rehashing the contents of Theo's original
message.  However, I've found two followups that are interesting for
their own separate reasons:

in http://blogs.csoonline.com/1296/an_fbi_backdoor_in_openbsd , there
appears to be some additional veribage from Gregory Perry, but IMHO it
does not really add much in the way of useful information.

The other item,

http://maycontaintracesofbolts.blogspot.com/2010/12/openbsd-ipsec-backdoor-allegations...

is quite a bit more interesting, since it's a public challenge (with a
cash bounty) to come up with actual evidence of backdoor code in the
relevant parts of OpenBSD.  There have been offers to match original 3
* USD 100 bounty, so with a little more circulation the bounty could
turn into a good amount.

I would say the second post here deserves more attention; if you
agree, please make that URL visible via whatever news sites you can
think of (yup, it's in the /. submissions queue).
