As I understand it, SSH is encumbered by a license that requires you to pay big bucks unless you're an individual or a non-profit. I'd need to build the protocol into the specialized client software, too, which also isn't allowed by the license. If it were BSD-licensed, it wouldn't be a problem. --Brett At 02:52 AM 4/10/99 -0500, Igor Roshchin wrote: >> Is this so?
