Is there really any good reason to continue to ship this? Seems that there is a movement away from using this. sendmail no longer requires it for TLSSTART suppor (looks like the Mandrake package doesn't require sfio for sendmail). Incidentally on the version issues. I believe 1999 is being used because like 2002. Not sure about 2002. At least Claus on his webpage says 2000 shouldn't be used: http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/tlscomp.html Basically it looks to me like the only thing using it is postgresql and honestly I don't know anything about postgres. But if postgresql doesn't really need it. Rebuilding without it and moving sfio to contrib would drop 237k out of main. Not much but something that might be better used for something else. But then again postgresql might need it or there might be a really good reason to continue shipping this in main. I'm just not sure what it is. :) -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
