Quit the cipe yapping already. The developer should really get his cipe
module into the mainline kernel.
If you are really so miffed about no cipe, try this cipe source rpm for
centOS4.
It will not build unless you have texinfo, openssl-devel and
kernel-devel (for your current running kernel) packages installed.
If you need to build for a smp kernel, use the modified smp cipe spec
file and the patch that I have attached. You will still need to download
the cipe tarball from its site.
The patch stops the rsa-keygen script for the identity file used by
pkcipe from being run.
