linux-ipsec: ANNOUNCE: Correct FTP path for FreeS/WAN daily snapshots...

  The previous announcement had a bogus FTP URL for where to get the snap shot, the one in the text below is correct.   

  The FreeS/WAN Team is amused to announce that they now provide a daily snapshot of their IPSEC/ISAKMP/Oakley system for Linux.   The snapshot is a _raw_ dump of the source tree that lives in our CVS repository, it looks like a release and if your lucky is squawks like a release, but it is NOT a release. Please please understand that the snapshot is just that, it may not compile, the documentation may be way out of date, critical new files might be missing, it might totally trash your system if your not aware of the current state of the system.
  Hell, it might case all of the data on your sisters Atari 1200 computer in Kalamazoo to fall of her disk drive and make a mess on the floor. Is it clear that the snapshot is raw code in a total state of unreliable flux yet?

  That behind us, if your interested in helping push our project forward then you can grab a snap shot and try it out. If your going to play with the snapshots we ask that you keep current with the <linux-ipsec@clinet.fi> list, and that all feedback about problems or wanted features be posted there.

  The snapshot is currently uploaded every day at about 01:10 EST/EDT to our primary FTP site at this URL:

        ftp://ftp.xs4all.nl/pub/crypto/freeswan/snapshot.tar.gz

  We are working towards a 1.0 release of the total FreeS/WAN software suite sometime in late May. The goal for 1.0 is only to provide subnet-to- subnet tunnel mode for Linux 2.0.33 systems. We then hope to move to the newer Linux kernels where we can do much more with much less hassle.   

  Questions and comments to the list please.
