Re: [OFFTOPIC] rc5-race is running!
Last night, I added one 133Mz to the effort. Here are few simple tips for those with dial-up isp accounts and with similar machine: (1) Connect to isp and get several Keyspaces by excecuting this several times: % nohup /usr/bin/nice -9 loop.sh rc5-client-linux-i486 -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] & (2) Disconnect from isp (3) When the all the Keyspaces are done, reconnect to isp and you will get more. There is plenty for everybody. :) The nice(1) is usefull prevent noticable delays. How many Keyspaces you want depends on how soon you plan to reconnect to isp: with 16 keyspaces times 30 minutes per Keyspace, you are done approximatly 8 hours later. When you reconnect, all the 16 keyspaces will register at once. And if you forget to reconnect on time, the processes will sleep, and every minute will check for route connectivity. A crontab job comes handy. On the first try, start with one keyspace and you will see the results in 30 minutes. I heard of a $10,000 award for the domain that comes firsts. That is why it is important to supply the "-i [EMAIL PROTECTED]" option.

Re: [OFFTOPIC] rc5-race is running!
So far I have read a lot about everybody joining in, what name to run under and how to split the money. But I have only seen two URL's on where to get info for this. One is the at upenn.edu where I could only find a precompiled binary, but NO Documentation or Source Code. I also saw a reference to the stats Web Page, but that page had no reference to any Documentation or Source Code. Where can one find this vital info? I don't relish the idea of running a binary that is in constant communication with another host on the internet if I can't get my hands on some Documentation and Source Code. I am sure this exists somewhere on the net, but it would be nice if someone would post a pointer to it on the list here. Thanks. D.L. / [EMAIL PROTECTED]Virtual .sig file #2342371.

I'd consider running it here (since I have a permanently connected machine with time on its hands), but how much network bandwidth does it use -- it's at a premium here.

Including inet headers, the upper limit is about 1k bytes of traffic per keyspace block. It all depends on how fast you finish the keyspace block, a pentium 133Mz pentium will traffic about 1k bytes every half an hour.

Hi, I'm running on an demand dialed modem connection, and the bandwidth requirement is pretty minimal (I had to explicitly nice it down to 17, though, for it not to make my machine slow as sludge). manoj -- "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly."

If it takes such little bandwidth, then someone put it in a .deb package; I'll run it on my machine. How does it work if you are connected to the net via PPP for about 2 hours a day?

The trick with this contest is to track down all of your buddies who are system administrators for huge numbers of machines and convince them to get the software running on all their systems.

Re: [OFFTOPIC] rc5-race is running!
After analyzing the data, I conclude that we theoretically have a chance to beat linuxnet. Our speed has droped 25% compared with yesterday. Linuxnet is running at four times our present speed. Today I received about six personals from debian users asking about the ftp site, or with other rc5-race questions. I think we do have a decent chance, once we get to position #2 (in about ten days) then we can take another look at our strength. Is the rc5-race package out yet? Four people have requested it since yesterday! It is already a popular item, and ideally (and if it is possible) it should come with a crontab job to upload the result and get a new keyspace. I tell you, we could *easily* compete with linuxnet in two weeks. Ioannis Tambouras [EMAIL PROTECTED], West Palm Beach, Florida Signed pgp-key on key server.

Just FYI, I just sic'ed an UltraSparc 2 running Solaris (as [EMAIL PROTECTED]) on this. Here's the output of -m: rc5-56-client: Performance testing with 100 crypts rc5-56-client: Complete in 6.819 seconds. (146650.34 keys/sec) I hope this helps somewhat...but could you explain the "-socks5" part to me? I'm also going to try to get about 2 dozen ancient old Sparc IPC's and Sparc 1's on the job.
