Authentication Problems

[Roeland M.J. Meyer]

I have a few questions regarding this;
1) Is the Windows SMB encryption approved for for export,  a' la ITAR?
2) If not, is WinNT40SP3 available outside the US/CA.
3) Relative to 2), is this version of RedHat available outside US/CA?
4) How does MS distribute SP3 outside US/CA?
