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

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.
