Hi Roman,
What did you mean with it? What has changed in 7.1 regarding crypto software?
There are two problems with crypto software in the US: * The export regulations * Licensing/patent issues We only package algorythms that are free to use. This way it is possible to offer the packages for download to non-US countries.

Yeah, I know that. But you mentioned that it was valid for SuSE versions up to 7.0. I wonder what has changed in 7.1 regarding crypto. rgrds, Braulio Gergull

Well, as Roman said: for 7.1, we removed all crypto algorithms that were problematic.
