I'm fine w/ making it a port so that people who need it can use it... Especially considering: The DES cipher should no longer be considered secure. Please consider using a more modern alternative. Though sadly, that comment was added almost 15 years after DES was brute forced by DEEPCrack. -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
