No, because the reason for its existance is gone. The RSA patent expired today, that was the sole reason for this port - ie: to enable people stuck in the US the option to use the superior international implementation of the RSA algorithms. The non-US versions of FreeBSD built and installed the librsaintl library automatically. I believe the librsaintl package is still available for people to use 'pkg_add -r librsaintl' over the net. I am not sure quite what the FreeBSD 4.x install cd's install, I believe the package is on there somewhere though. (I have never installed a full system from CD, I have always installed a minimum system and recompiled the rest from scratch) Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; peter@netplex.com.au "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
