What's the best way of getting cryptographic tools such as ssh or
pgp by default into a mainstream Linux distribution, given US
export law?
I'm particularly concerned with ssh, which should (IMHO) completely
replace rlogin/rsh, unless a specific fallback to those old and
insecure utilities is needed for compatibility with other systems.
Are any major Linux distributions hosted outside the US? Could they
be moved, for that reason? Other comments?

The joy of engineering is to find a straight line on a double
