I'll have a look at it.

Right. Thanks for that pointer.

Reading docs is fine, but sometimes it's just nice to get to something and
have some ad hoc answers spoon fed to you :-) .
By the way, do you have any idea where the libmcrypt-idea tarball that is
included in the SUSE srpm comes from? It is not available via
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcrypt . Not sure if SUSE got it from there
originally, and whether it was removed for some reason...
Based on comments from Michael Schwendt I made some fixes to the rpm's at
http://www.ottolander.nl/opensource/mcrypt/mcrypt.html , most notably I
added a %defattr so the files are now owned by root after installation ;).
Bye,
Leonard.
