You should have no problem getting these to work together, but don't kid
youself about the no hacks/cracks. OpenBSD prides itself on auditing the
bds code base for possible security risks and does a great service to
the open source community because of it. but whenever you open up any
services on a box, that opens the door. Now of course a box with no open
services is pretty much a heater, but you still have to stay on top of
things to keep it secure.
