No DES code may be exported from the US no matter what copyright is on it. Even more silly, if I inadvertently put a totally unencumbered version of DES crypt on a US site I can't even get it back (I'm in the UK)! The only way around this is to use a non-DES version of crypt for exportation. A US exportable version of FreeBSD will be released. -- Paul Richards, University of Wales, College Cardiff Internet: paul@isl.cf.ac.uk spedpr@thor.cf.ac.uk
