Apparantly David it came from the SIPB at MIT and more specifically as part of security/encryption studies as far as I have been able to glance from the files both locally and at MIT. They oughtta be shot/hanged or whatnot for the lack of commentary in the sourcecode... Man, it makes one wonder whether or not they get a curriculum about lack of documenting =) Apparantly the libss is also used a lot for a project called Zephyr at MIT. And what I gather from the (sparse) docs libss and libet are replacements for athena. Hope this is of some help... -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven asmodai(at)wxs.nl The *BSD Programmer's Documentation Project Network/Security Specialist *BSD: We are back and will not accept no...
