My impression was that a license was needed from RSA to use RSA public key routines commercially. The Data Fellows purchase would cover that also, I believe. One nice side to using SSH w/kerberos instead of just kerberized utilities is that tunneling of X programs occurs automatically with ssh/slogin. Any chance of K5 becoming the default version of kerberos distributed with FreeBSD sometime? :-) Robert N Watson robert@fledge.watson.org http://www.watson.org/~robert/ PGP key fingerprint: 03 01 DD 8E 15 67 48 73 25 6D 10 FC EC 68 C1 1C Carnegie Mellon University http://www.cmu.edu/ TIS Labs at Network Associates, Inc. http://www.tis.com/ Safeport Network Services http://www.safeport.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
