It doesn't really matter because all implementations must provide exactly the same set of parameters for a given algorithm so it's good enough for what Stephan wants to do. But yes an interface to grab the highest priority algorithm would be useful too so patches are welcome :) Cheers, -- Email: Herbert Xu Home Page: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/ PGP Key: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/pubkey.txt
