SKIPJACK is installed, and ENABLED! I have NOT (now would I EVER) installed it voluntarily, and Micro$loth only advertises the "standard" ciphers (which I also found). Is anyone else aware of this? Is it safe to delete the key (and code? Hopefully this is DLL driven: I'm still looking!). Also, anyone know what it was put there for? It's certainly not what I would consider an SSL issue! J.A.
