It's not Canada that's the trouble; it's U.S. export laws. If you read documentation on OpenBSD crypto long enough, you'll see a U.S. code submitter listed somewhere - and a VERY clear explanation that this individual submitted NO CRYPTO CODE at all... U.S. Export laws were part of the reason OpenBSD was started in Canada instead of the U.S. Theo has to be very careful and for the most part can't accept (or at one time, he couldn't) any crypto code from a U.S. submitter. -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
