Re: vrrpd

Hello Scott,
  I think you didn't read the original. All he needs is a port made by
  someone that was kind of working. I couldn't find the URL. He needs
  it for his job in Argentina _now_ because his job might depend on
  it. He isn't asking to be included in the distribution. Besides,
  when the RSA patent was valid in US the project actually had a
  separate package that had to be downloaded _from_ outside US and
  _for_ outside US. I don't see that for France now, even though
  AFAIK encryption is illegal without giving the secret keys to the
  local authorities.
  Anyway, if I had the money I would pay for a vrrp patch to current
  or something. And obviously host it in Argentina with a notice to
  whoever wants to download it that he shoul check with his local
  patent offce first. Regrettably the economy it's not that good and
  we're stuck with legal but illegit governments for a couple of
  years, so all I could do was a lousy donation to OpenBSD. I wish I
  could do more, but that's all I can.

Regards,
Alejandro Belluscio
