Conclusion: BROKEN ...do you mind sharing your thoughts with us? :-) but please, don't tell me again, to give up on the crypto API... ;-) since I'm quite determined to fix all problems, it would be usefull to have a definite list of them... btw, the non-reentrant part has been almost fixed... but it's not released yet. if you are refering to the IV overflow, that's going to be addressed as well rsn... as to the patch-int vs cryptoapi, the patch-int-2.4.6.bz2 actually nothing more than a patch-int-2.4.3.1 applied against a 2.4.6... so they are both the same... greetings, -- Herbert Valerio Riedel / Phone: (EUROPE) +43-1-58801-18840 Email: hvr@xxxxxxxxxx / Finger hvr@xxxxxxx for GnuPG Public Key GnuPG Key Fingerprint: 7BB9 2D6C D485 CE64 4748 5F65 4981 E064 883F 4142 Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
