Well, again, as I told to all people who mad eme this answer privately, I _really_ run the proper version of rc5des (the one for FreeBSD 2.x, NOT the one for 3.x). I grabbed the software _twice_ from the links at www.distributed.net > And there is absolutely no reason to run it as root, and every reason > not to. Put it in your home directory. Or create a special account for Certainly. This is exactly what I do on the several other machines where I run rc5des (mainly Linux machines). The software runs as nobody with only nobody-owned files. I mentioned in my report that I ran it as root. This is just because I didn't make the needed work for having it ran as another UID. I just wanted to quicly launch the software and see it work...or not. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
