: Frank, when are you going to remove restrictions for the "secure" version?
: I'm referring to http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/noexport.html of course.
:
When the test phase of C-Kermit 7.1 is finished and it is formally released,
it will be packaged in a way that is consistent with the revised USA export
restrictions, which can be summarized very crudely like this: source code
can be put on FTP sites, but not object code or binaries. Meaning that you'll
have to build secure versions from source code yourself.
The C-Kermit 7.1 Alpha-test tarball already contains the security modules:
$ tar tvf cku199a02.tar
rw-rw-r--107/1327 290790 Jan 6 14:18 2001 makefile
rw-rw-r--107/1327 163324 Jan 3 15:18 2001 ck_crp.c
rw-rw-r--107/1327 2627 Jan 3 15:18 2001 ck_des.c
rw-rw-r--107/1327 116502 Jan 3 15:18 2001 ck_ssl.c
rw-rw-r--107/1327 2712 Jan 3 15:18 2001 ck_ssl.h
...
The procedures for building secure versions are in the makefile, and are
documented here:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/security71.html
Thus you can use the security features today. If you have specific questions,
send them to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
