RE: AES 256-Bit Encryption and /etc/my.cnf
I didn't mean for just this instance and this specific AES option (heck, I don't even use AES at all ;-), I'm just saying that anywhere within the mySQL .h files that has an option that someone may wish to edit in a practical scenario, should be changeable via the my.cnf file instead/in addition to. I appreciate you're taking the time to consider this. I think it just makes good logical sense too. The less people have to muck with compiling, the less chance of problems they'll have. -Original Message- From: Lenz Grimmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 3:11 AM To: Daevid Vincent Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: AES 256-Bit Encryption and /etc/my.cnf -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, On Tue, 24 Jun 2003, Daevid Vincent wrote: It would be really nice if ANY of these kinds of configuration options were settable via the /etc/my.cnf file.

It would be really nice if ANY of these kinds of configuration options were settable via the /etc/my.cnf file. I use RPM's almost exclusively for their ease of maintenance, compatibility and stability and I certainly wouldn't want to go and have to re-compile anything just to change a value from 128 to 256.

No patch needed - just edit include/my_aes.h and change the AES_KEY_LENGTH define to the desired value (it defaults to 128 bits).
