I think one guiding principle is that you don't really want your private key go to anywhere out of your control. I haven't done this myself (yet), but I think TR may have put his private key on a flash drive. Mine is on my main desktop computer only. Tracy's practice sounds better! If you do that, then one key := one person rather than one computer/person. Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
