Yeah, that's some guarantee there, you betcha...
Specifically, the parts that read:
"I offer $500 to the first person to publicly report a
verifiable security hole in the latest version of djbdns"
AND:
"My judgment is final as to what constitutes a security hole
in djbdns."
It's easy to offer money to your users when only 5 people
worldwide use your software. (And I'm convinced at least 4 of them
are on this list.)
