Re: [freenet-chat] Dumb question about CLI auto-redirects

[Aaron P Ingebrigtsen]

Uh, what?!   Listen, every file on freenet is first a CHK.  No file on freenet exists that is not first a CHK.  CHKs are the "Workhorse of Freenet" -freenetproject.org.   If you don't want CHKs, you don't want files.  It is as simple as that.   If you want to insert a file, it generates a Contenet Hash Key, which by the way is just as secure as SSKs because you can't change a file without also changeing the CHK.  All other keys are redirected to CHKs as far as I know.   On Mon, 30 Apr 2001 00:22:06 +1200 "David McNab" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Is there any particular reason why the command line clients (by default) automatically insert keys as a CHK then insert a redirector to that key?   Is there any real advantage to this - particularly when inserting SSKs which themselves are pretty secure?   Is there any real loss of security, or any other disadvantage, in setting '-autoRedirect no' by habit?   Cheers David
