RE: Cobalt MIPS server, Linux and OpenSRS client scripts

I believe the problem was installing the latest version of Crypt:CBC (1.22 &
1.23) instead of
the older release--1.20 from 1998. I had zero problems on a Raq2 when I
installed last year.
Crypt::CBC 1.22 was released January 22, 2000 and breaks OpenSRS.

If the reseller is on a machine they don't have root access to they can
install the old Crypt module
in their own directory space then point the require statement to the
corrected path. Otherwise kill
the newer module and reinstall the 1.20 version.

Crypt::IDEA has not had an update release since 6/99 and CPAN lists only one
version: 1.01

Dev-listers,

Re: Cobalt MIPS server (RAQ 2 in particulat), the pre-installed modified
RedHat Linux, and the OpenSRS client scripts (in particular, getting the
Perl modules to compile properly)...

I remember getting some people together on this problem some time ago.

Was the answer merely to install the optional Crypt::IDEA modules? That
seems to be what I remember, I just want to verify it for the Support FAQ
(and give credit where it is due).

Thanks,
