Using libcrypto what is now being linked to libmd. I did this, based on Mark's guidance a couple of weeks/months ago, and we didn't notice much problems. The only back then was that we weren't sure if SSL had md4 or something old which libmd still had. I remember Mark telling that that isn't an issue any more. >If the former, that would be more or less easily achieved - as pointed >out on -arch, libmd and libcrypto do seem to more or less share the basic >hash routines, so adding the code would be a matter of moving the mdX* >files from lib/libmd/ to secure/lib/libcrypto/ and adding them to >the libcrypto build process.

Libcrypto supports them natively. I already had a bunch of patches and Mark and me were discussing this back and forth in private for a while, but I am currently semi-out-of-business due to my primary machine at home having hardware issues. It will be replaced ASAP [when cash comes in again, this week or next] and then I am going to continue this work. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai .oUo. asmodai@[wxs.nl|freebsd.org] Documentation nutter/C-rated Coder BSD: Technical excellence at its best D78D D0AD 244D 1D12 C9CA 7152 035C 1138 546A B867 Sweet taste of vindication, It turns to ashes in your mouth...
