Chernov > <ache@null.net> > http://www.nagual.pp.ru/~ache/ rpc_des.h, maybe. But rpc_enc.c can not be removed: this is the file that contains the __des_crypt() routine, which is a wrapper around thr ECB and CBC encryption routines within the library. Keyserv(8) calls into this routine, so it is necessary. I'll let Mark decide if we need the rpc_des.h header. The RPC library itself doesn't require it, but the libdes library as distributed may need it. -Bill
