- Subject: BLESSED CLIENTS
- Summary: The compiled binaries listed under this category are 'blessed,'
- which means that most servers will accept them at all times
- (unblessed clients get booted out). There are two types of
- blessing, reserved.c (old) and RSA (new). Most servers are
- now accepting only RSA-blessed clients. With some RSA clients,
- you need to use -R on the command line to enable RSA blessing.
- -o enables old-style blessing.
