Including encryption software ? Ha ? No. Encyption software should not be free.

Well, I'm sure the Government boys thought the export ban was a good idea at the time... :-) (As an apology to the rest of the world: I'm afraid we Americans have let our Government get way too far out of control. We have our work cut out for us to try rein it in...) --Dan -- Dan O'Connor On Matters of Most Grave Concern http://www.mostgraveconcern.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
