AT&T's refusal to support CFS and other so-called "secure" software under Linux is typical and to be expected.

This is the dumbest thread I've ever seen. First of all, AT&T lets Matt distribute CFS and other crypto related tools from an AT&T site. In the current legal environment, I think that's a good show of "support". Second of all, Matt has put in a lot of effort to make CFS usable to Linux users. I have personally gotten help on more than one occaision from Matt with CFS and Linux, and I've seen him answer lots of questions on the CFS users' mail list. Here's an example: when I first started using CFS, the documents were formatted with a macro that wasn't included with the most popular linux distributions. I pointed this out to Matt and took the time to rewrite the docs using a different macro, so Linux users would be able to read it. I'll bet he's done dozens of fixes to make CFS run better on Linux boxes. What's more, Matt recently took the trouble to set up a Linux box for the sole purpose of testing CFS on it. I love Linux and I use it, but the fact that everyone has a slightly different distribution makes it a tough platform to support. As Matt's already pointed out, most of the problems that people have with Linux and CFS seem to stem from a broken rpgen that come with some, but not all, distributions of Linux. Finally, as Perry pointed out, neither Matt nor AT&T owe us anything, so it would be impossible to find fault with Matt even if he hadn't done any work to support Linux. Lots of people run CFS on Linux. I'd even be willing to bet that Linux is the most popular CFS platform, judging from the traffic on the list. If you can't run CFS on your Linux box, you might want to consider the possibility that you don't know what you're doing.
