We're still waiting on a legal interpretation of the new regs from WC's
lawyers..but it certainly seems like (subject to some procedural
restrictions) we would be allowed to export crypto now. The "some
restrictions" is the bit which needs to be clarified before we start doing
it, to make sure no-one gets in trouble.

Sounds like you're going to love FreeBSD 4.0, then, which does exactly
this (OpenSSH is in the base system and enabled out of the box if you
choose it, along with OpenSSL (strong crypto toolkit)). I think we've
managed to do a better job of it than OpenBSD, too, at least under the
hood (I haven't seen Jordan's sysinstall changes in action yet).
