You should be able to find the secr set on ftp.macbsd.com in the
eskimo.copy directory, if you need it.  However, realize that there is an
exportable (encrypting-only) version of crypt(3) included with
distribution as found on ftp.netbsd.org.  It's found in libcrypt (i.e. you
will need to specify -lcrypt when linking the package).

Well, in via.c there's a line of code to disable the cache card (it's
commented, too!).  You'd need to either remove or comment out or
#if-bracket out this line.  WARNING: the operation of the cache card is
not entirely understood, but what little we know about it suggests that
there could be problems enabling it when using the ncrscsi driver.  The
same would affect the sbc driver if you operated it in the interrupt-
driven mode, as well, but you can't do that yet.

I'd like to pursue this issue a bit more, if someone has the time to do
some experiments for me.
