I can understand these arguments for SRP which is turned off by some distributions due to previous patent threats, but I don't think there is something like it around shishi. If a module system is implemented it should not be only for shishi, but it should affect all gnutls auth methods and algorithms. For the moment, since this support doesn't exist formally, using the gnutls-extra is the appropriate way to add kerberos. (actually implementing a module system is not hard given how code is organized, but it requires time I don't have). regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ Help-shishi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-shishi
