    Subject: DES algorithm not found

Hello,

I am having a problem running the JCE DES demo. I get
the following exception (trace included):

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: algorithm DES not available.
at java.security.Security.getEngineClassName(Security.java)
at java.security.Security.getEngineClassName(Security.java)
at java.security.Security.getImpl(Security.java)
at java.security.KeyGenerator.getInstance(KeyGenerator.java:91)
at encrypt.main(encrypt.java:55)

I read the archived postings that were similar to this,
but they did not help. I placed jce.zip in the same location
as classes.zip, and have tried every CLASSPATH permutation.

I'm running JDK1.1.1 under linux. I download the solaris JCE
version to my work, unpacked it, tarred & compressed it and
then downloaded it to my linux box at home. I see no problem
with this, do you?

I should not need to change/add providers in my java.security
file, right? Do you have any ideas? Might this be some
linux port problem?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

-Glenn
