Note that the "rules" for running an rc5 client changed slightly after the rc5-56 challenge key was found. Use your own email address when submitting keys; that way if you are the lucky winner, you can be notified as soon as possible. After your client has been running for a day or two, you will be emailed a password. Then search for your email address at the rc5 stats page (http://rc5stats.distributed.net), and assign your blocks to Team FreeBSD - team number 988. Actually, the Team FreeBSD web page at http://www.circle.net/team-freebsd explains this rather well. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com
