Earlier I mentioned that I was having difficulty building the current Mixmaster on FreeBSD - I'm confident that I've identified the problem. Specifically, the OpenSSL that's integrated into FreeBSD doesn't include IDEA, by default, because of patent concerns. To remedy that, one needs to change the line in /etc/defaults/make.conf so that it reads "MAKE_IDEA=YES". Then - this is the part I missed before - it's necessary to recompile the system libraries, so that they're rebuilt with IDEA support included. It sounds simple in retrospect . . . go to /usr/src and run "make buildworld; make installworld", which may take 12 hours or so on a slow PC. There's got to be a better way to just rebuild the crypto parts, but I didn't stumble across it yet. After those steps are completed, the Mixmaster stuff builds and runs happily. Mixmaster 2.9beta23 is available at <ftp://ftp.shinn.net/pub/remailer/mixmaster> or <ftp://mixmaster.anonymizer.com>. I suspect that the OpenBSD fix will be similar, but it may take some time to track it all down. -- Greg Broiles gbroiles@well.com "We have found and closed the thing you watch us with." -- New Delhi street kids
