[SLE] Do we get real encryption next time?
Will the next release of SuSE English have 128 bit (formerly "US domestic") encryption? Will there be a SuSE RPM for that soon? I hate having to install by hand.

You can add 128bit encryption yourself with 'fortify', which is included on the SuSE cd's. -- Yatsen Ng yatsen.ng@brunel.nl Den Haag, The Netherlands It said "Needs Windows 95 or better".
