Source code for the latest version (release 1.3.2) of CFS, the Cryptographic File System, is now available upon request for research and experimental use in the US and Canada.
Dear Mr. Blaze: As you seem to have noticed, a few subscribers to cypherpunks are more interested in exploring their own personal psychopathologies than in the creation and spread of strong cryptography. Please do not feel that you need to apologize for their actions, and especially please do not restrict your actions and/or posts because of them. To correct merely one of the many mis-statements made by these people desperate to draw attention to themselves, the Linux community is NOT interested in 'out-of-the-box'. If we were interested in 'out-of-the- box', we would be running OSs that COME in a box. What we ARE interested in is source (or, if source isn't available, at least 128 bit keys). If you provide source, we'll port it. It's that simple. While support is nice, and appreciated, it is NOT NEEDED. We can take care of ourselves. So, on behalf of the Linux community and those of us running CFS, thank you very much for your contribution. And please don't let a couple of idiots like these lower your opinion of the over 1 million Linux users who appreciate your efforts and support. -- Deus Ex Machina dxm@alpha.c2.org
