I would indeed be very happy to look at your patch and commit it. I would like to keep opencrypto in 7.x in sync with head (and 8.x) at least for the forseeable future, so I don't think merging to 7.x will be a problem. Provided the code works, of course. ;-) Feel free to send me the code and I'll take a look. Thanks! - Philip -- Philip Paeps Made from non-edible parts philip@freebsd.org
