openssh doesn't use rsaref as far as i know. i too would really like to
see ssh enabled, and telnet disabled.. especially for the high security
modes. i also prefer proftpd, but i know it's had some security problems
in the past. but it's good to disabled inetd and have your daemons run
standalone.

What about adding it to the crypo additions in the install?

not possible: 

1/ it would break the US (and other country) export restrictions
2/ AFAIK it uses the RSA algorithm which is patented until the end of
this year

Just a couple of requests...

1) SSH added and enabled by default (not Telnet). How would US export
restrictions affect this.
2) ISDN(Hisax) and ISDN4Linux versions matched and module-enabled (It took
about two days before a fellow LinuxGuru said in a rather passe fashion "Oh
yeah, you can load the module, but the hook in the kernel is not enabled.."
He ducked less than a second after he'd realised how much time I'd spent on
it... :-(
3) Webmin - it runs rings around Linuxconf, although I don't know what the
deal is now that Caldera is bundling it :-)

These are just the things that I add to my systems after building them. The
ISDN is for all those newbies out there.


Thanks & regards,

Craig Foster
