international RSA code
I've added a port, ports/security/librsaintl, that should build and install the librsaINTL.* files in /usr/lib, in case you did a binary install or are stuck with the USA source. The port is quite a hack, but I'd be interested to know how it works for folks. Note that there have been several versions, so make sure you've got the current version before trying to use it. :-) This builds the optimized RSA code designed for use by the ssl code. It also is used by openssh. RSAREF requires big number format conversion, this code does not. RSAREF is also limited to 1024 bit keys, this code has no such limitation.

I'm still not clear on the issue of RSAREF :( In the US do we need to have the rsaref port installed in order to use openssl/openssh in the source tree? If not then in /etc/make.conf we can set "RSAREF=NO" and buildworld will DTRT with respect to openssl/openssh? thanxs ...

Please reader chapter 6.5 in the handbook - it describes the now out of date system, but the ideas behind it are the same. The bottom line is that you need to install rsaref if you're in the US and want to use things like openssh. If you don't fit the rsaref license you're out of luck.
