For non US, RSAREF is of no interest anyway. Slower and > more limited than other RSA libs. I don't get it ... I don't have anything against having USA_RESIDENT for RSAREF!

So PLEEEASE explain me, why Makefile for SSH (I'm not talking about RSAREF) has this variable. > -- > Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr > FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #7: Thu Jun 6 20:43:22 MET DST 1996 > -- dima
