Re: [GNUnet-developers] slocate

Hi Jan,

The answer to your problems can be found in RFC 1855.

Here is a link for your convenience:

http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html#3

Thanks,
Ken

P.S. I never noticed how general the term "GNUnet-developers" sounds.  If you
look at it the wrong way you will see "GNU developers on a network" instead of
what it really is.
