Hi all, I find the whole idea of NIST and FIPS to fly in the face of OSS sanity. However, should there not be a switch in all ports and the OS for things to= be built with a FIPS compliant encryption module?=C2=A0 Seriously, like th= e openssl-2.0-fips module? I know it's annoying but the US and Canadian Govts are demanding this of al= l vendors and contractors.=C2=A0 RH/CentOS is already compliant with this s= tupidity and, sadly, I think it should be considered. And, if this was done, it would allow all derivations of the FreeBSD to be = able to access this.=C2=A0 I'm trying for FreeNAS to be used in such an env= ironment. Paul
