 Subject: RC5 RSA contest thing

Hi all,

   So a lot of us from #freeBSD are participating in the RSA 56 bit key 
cracking contest, and it would be really neat if a lot more FreeBSD types 
joined in with us.  The details can be found at  http://www.vex.net/rsa/ 
for the team we are participating on.  

   If you have a box with some CPU to spare, please join our effort.

   Nick
