Is that not the case? Oops, my mistake.. you are correct as far as I know. What I should have said was "the non-exportable RC4 algorithm" because (also AFAIK) it's not exportable so we can't check it into freefall. We *can* check it in to the international repository but I don't know if anyone has done that yet, or if so what the header file looks like. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
