I think GP is confused why the ftp command also handles http(s) :) I hate to imagine what a 780 running NetBSD would be like, too. I tried netbooting NetBSD on my MicroVAX 3400, which is about 2.5x the performance of the 780. It did, literally, take 6+ hours to slog through making RSA keys. | ||

> I think GP is confused why the ftp command also handles http(s) :) Exactly - I even suspected for a second that `ftp` on NetBSD is something else entirely, not an actual FTP client with HTTP/HTTPS URLs bolted on. It's not - it still accepts a host as an argument and opens a CLI if there's an FTP server to talk to. | ||

Elliptic curve key gen is much faster on slow hardware. You're waiting around on primality tests that aren't necessary with modern keys. | ||
