Hello there, I am trying to create a port package for xisp. xisp is a graphical frontend to pppd and chat programs. It uses des encrypt() to store login and password info for dialup login in a startup file as an additional security enhancement. I have several options to deal with. o remove encryption part for this port and store raw login and password in the start up file. (the startup file mode is usually set to 0400) RESTRICTED=no o create unsafe scrambler for this port so that login and password are not easily remembered even though someone looks at the file over the user's shoulder. RESTRICTED=no o dynamic link to a crypto library assuming the user has DES package installed. (how to make dependency to DES package in the port system?) RESTRICTED=no o static link to a crypto library assuming the port build machine has DES package installed. (How to make dependency to DES package?) The final package tarball would be independent of DES package if distributed outside of US. RESTRICTED=yes Any recommendations/suggestions? BTW, the distribution tarball even includes UFC-crypt source for SunOS. I assume this implicates the distribution cannot be placed on cdrom/the freebsd.org ftp servers.
