Im not S. African, but I know in the US crypto is supposed to be protected under Amendments I and IV of the constitution here. And in the land of the free that has not worked out to well. <UNRELATED-BANTER> My brother whos finishing his last year of law school suggested, and I know this would never fly for us for various reasons, is that you just import the KAME code or whoever's stack. Write the EFF, and all the senators on the senate judiciary committee who are overseeing the crypto issues, like fred thompson and orin hatch, and inform them of your plans to start rolling it into FreeBSD and exporting it in the next release, and explain your issues and the problem you face by not being allowed to do so legaly. And force a lawsuit by the US Govt. against WC :-) Now I know that is not going to happen. But I think I agree that the only way these moronic laws that infringe on freedom are going to be over turned is by someone forcing a law suit and winning, and paving the way for others to do the same since they can then point to your case as an example. </UNRELATED-BANTER> Chris -- "Join Team-FreeBSD on cracking RC5-64! grab you client now and HELP OUT! http://www.distributed.net/cgi/select.cgi" ===================================| Open Systems FreeBSD Consulting.
