well... openbsd is probably more secure than e.g. linux, but I wouldn't
call it highly secure. For me highly secure means that you can run
potentially malicious code without harm. I do not know exactly about the
openbsd security architecture, but it is very coarse grained compared to
object capability systems (iirc). Also, it relies on acls (for what I
know), a security model *known not to work*.
