Your are correct, I cannot seem to find aes either. Perhaps I dreamed it up while I was sleeping. Anyway, I am going to make a request for Blowfish inclusion. There was some request before, but it was not accepted (nor shot down) due to them not knowing whether people would want it. So I shall attempt to explain that there are people who do want blowfish in shadow. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-shadow-devel/2008-May/006622.html http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-shadow-devel/2008-May/006621.html As an FYI, I am starting to reach a saturation point in mailing lists and am starting to forget which mailing list I am talking on. So, heres a heads up apology for any upcoming send to the wrong mailing list that is probably going to happen. -- Kevin Day -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
