appropriate in that context. Do that call instead directly in the
callers (remove, rmdir).

If we are going to use sequential tags, we might as well try to make
them really sequential.

in the raw device using the new -J option. This avoids the use of
getdiskrawname which is not particularly rump safe in this context and
insures that the rump container device is used for cleaning, not the
outer device.
The implementation enables to work with a server talking 9P2000.u. However, it
doesn't use the extended fields yet; it just ignores those of received messages
and sets "please ignore" values to those of sending messages such as zero-length
strings and maximum unsigned values.
The feature is enabled by the -u option.
Originally, MKCRYPTO was introduced because the United States
classified cryptography as a munition and restricted its export. The
export controls were substantially relaxed fifteen years ago, and are
essentially irrelevant for software with published source code.
In the intervening time, nobody bothered to remove the option after
its motivation -- the US export restriction -- was eliminated. I'm
not aware of any other operating system that has a similar option; I
expect it is mainly out of apathy for churn that we still have it.
Today, cryptography is an essential part of modern computing -- you
can't use the internet responsibly without cryptography.
The position of the TNF board of directors is that TNF makes no
representation that MKCRYPTO=no satisfies any country's cryptography
regulations.
My personal position is that the availability of cryptography is a
basic human right; that any local laws restricting it to a privileged
few are fundamentally immoral; and that it is wrong for developers to
spend effort crippling cryptography to work around such laws.
As proposed on tech-crypto, tech-security, and tech-userlevel to no

P.S. Reviewing all the uses of MKCRYPTO in src revealed a lot of
*bad* crypto that was conditional on it, e.g. DES in telnet... That
should probably be removed too, but on the grounds that it is bad,
not on the grounds that it is (nominally) crypto.
