With the slink version that's true, but that really makes it non-free rather than non-US. potato now has OpenSSH, which doesn't suffer from this problem. The non-US problem is that US law prohibits software containing strong encryption from being exported from the United States; it therefore has to be placed on a mirror outside the United States for people to download. (Importing it into the US is OK.) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trinity College, Cambridge, and Computer Science [riva.ucam.org]
