on this article:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12/15/openbsd_backdoor_claim/
some talk:
"E J Hilbert, a former FBI cyber-crime agent, said attempts were made to place backdoors in open source security codes but that these were unsuccessful. "I was one of the few FBI cyber agents when the coding supposedly happened. Experiment yes. Success No," Hilbert said in a Twitter update."

and a bit more on this twitter:
"Reporters:please dont quote my tweets out of context. OpenBSD backdoor "experiment" for internal pre-use review not public deploy"

"For the record. FBI never bd openBSD. FBI tests software for such things before use but does not build or deploy. http://myloc.me/fjOIo"

not to trust for sure... but information.
