The Australian mirror site for NetBSD, netbsd.rmit.edu.au now carries
the full NetBSD 1.1 distribution, with a replacment for the sections
that cannot be exported from the USA.
It can be found in:
netbsd.rmit.edu.au:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.1
The NetBSD-current distribution can be found in;
netbsd.rmit.edu.au:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current
Anonymous FTP and SUP access to the archive is available.
The "domestic" distribution in source/dsrc/dsrc11.aa that contains
the source code for crypt(3) and the Kerberos libraries has been
replaced by an "Australian Legal" version of crypt ("FreeSec"),
written by David Burren <davidb@werj.com.au>. At this time, the
kerberos port is missing, as the 1.1 distribution didn't require
it. It will be added in the near future.
The file i386/security/secr11.aa is a replacement /bin/ed, /sbin/init,
and /usr/lib/libcrypt.* using the "FreeSec" crypt(3). This is a full
version on crypt, unlike the version in /usr/src/lib/libcrypt which is
just an encrypt-only version on crypt, sans the des_*(3) functions.
It is hoped that precompiled versions of */security/secr11.aa become
available for the other ports in the near future, including the other
architectures I have in the office: sparc, sun3, pmax, and hp300.
Please do NOT retreive the dsrc11.aa or secr11.aa files if you are not
in Australia. Yes, obscure ``crypto == munitions'' export laws appear
to be in force Down Under...
Luke.
