True that DES does a fabulous job in keeping OpenSSH stable. But problems do occasionally occur and if such a problem -say- locks you out of a remote machine it means a royal PITA. Something like that. HTH, Jeroen -- Jeroen C. van Gelderen - jeroen@vangelderen.org War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or a plague brings.
