X-Mailer: Mutt 0.53 Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have loaded up a system with a full 2.1.6 and applied the patches from SA-97:01 and done a make world. Now I would like to put in the DES stuff (necessary because I have to share a password database with Solaris and Unixware), but the 2.1.6 directory is locked (with good reason, and I understand that). Can I use the DES source from 2.1.5 that I have tucked away on another machine? Unfortunately, I do not have the sources, just the binaries. I am sure that this whole situation must be very frustrating for all of you. I know how you have labored to make FreeBSD a trusted platform for commercial and other serious development, and to find something like this, left over from CSRG probably, and no fault of your own, must be maddening.
