Hi,

I'm the guy who is implementing 9P for Linux ( p9fs ). Everything was quite
ok, before I started auth implementation. As you all know for the proper
authentication of the client client's kernel should decrypt a ticket
received from AS, and for this it should know encryption algorithm ;). I guess
that due to the famous US law  there is no such thing as 'crypt.c', am I right?
If yes, than, please, tell me whether 'encrypt(void*, void*, int)' uses
classical DES algorithm ( as described in Bruce Schneier: Applied Cryptography.
John Wiley & Sons, 1994. and implemented in libdes ) or not.

Thanks,
Roman.
