Hello,

reaction before forwarding it to RedHat Support.

Thanks,

Hi,

You might also want to let them know to check something out with their
lawyers -- providing the following RPM on their world-exported ftp site
probably breaks the US crypotgraphy export laws:

contrib/libc6/noarch/ghostscript-5.10-6-patch-980714-1.noarch.rpm

The same goes for linux-rep, of course, and all other mirrors.

<later, Re: linux-rep.fnal.gov>

NFS mounts are restricted to fnal.gov, ftp is not: <session showing ftp
transfer of above file to CERN machine.>

Cheers,
Chris.
