Or your reply to me? There was no need to state it ... The message you replied to just mentioned that he had to get DES. He didn't say: Get from the US FTP site, which of course would have been illegal (from an US point of view). } I was unaware that DES-like encryption work was being done outside the US. Well, I tried to make it clear with my first message. If it is not exported from the US, then it may be imported to Italy. } An explanation is always preferable to humiliation. True. Sorry for the tone of my reply! But yours was not in the best tone, either ... And it might have made some people think, that FreeBSD could not legally be used with DES encrypted passwords outside the US. We'd just let the topic rest now, and remind everybody that encryption code is available from the South African site ftp.internat.freebsd.org for the good of the world outside the US :) Regards, STefan -- Stefan Esser, Zentrum fuer Paralleles Rechnen Tel: +49 221 4706021 Universitaet zu Koeln, Weyertal 80, 50931 Koeln FAX: +49 221 4705160 ============================================================================== http://www.zpr.uni-koeln.de/~se <se@ZPR.Uni-Koeln.DE>
