Thanks, I got it working yesterday via advice many people sent,
and a bit of reading (Maximum RPM)...
The solution was similar to what you suggested above at the
bottom. I had to add another source line to the top, and put the
RPM_SOURCE_DIR thingie in with the -o option to overwrite
files. A few other minor tweaks and it builds fine. Same for
the 'zip' package. Anyone wanting the .spec files, just ask for
them. The spec has the URL of where to get the zcrypt archive as
well, so building your own RPMs should be easy.
Since I noticed RH 6.2 has some encryption support due to the
USA's relaxation of crypto laws, it would be nice if they did an
audit of all applications on the distro that have potential
crypto capabilities, and enabled as much of this type of support
as possible. Including OpenSSH, or some form of ssh, and various
other common crypto tools would be fantastic. FreeS/WAN (IPSec
implementation) support would also be nice, but only as an addon
package, not built into the standard kernels shipped.
I'm sure that something like this will occur for RH 6.3 or 7.0
though if I know RH well enough from past history.
Take care,
TTYL
