Hi folks.

I am getting a bit desparate now. I would _really_ like to start cleaning
up the crypto code, and have made some specific proposals about haw I would
like to do it, and asked for a mentor/buddy/tester to check it out before
I commit. Is there no-one out there who is interested in this?

To summarise my proposals again (in no particular order):

1) The crypto code is a mess. I fail to see why it is broken into `secure'
   and `ebones', so I would like to merge these. (With eBones remaining a
   separate distribution). I would like the distributions to be called
   `crypto' and `krb'.

2) I would like to update our DES library with some code I have from Eric
   Young, including a secure (encrypting) telnet. He is the original author
   of our DES library, and he converted Bones to eBones (Encrypting Bones).

3) I want to fix some nasty NIS/Kerberos incosistencies.

4) I want to complete the RPC work.

5) etc...

M
