Cipe also has a terrible authentication scheme. While the traffic itself is encrypted at whatever keyrate you specify, the key exchange is only at 32 bits, which is trivial to crack. Depending on your security requirements this may not be an issue, but it's something you want to keep an eye on. Christopher Fisk -- Bender: He's a witch! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
