Not if your system is set up carefully (depending where the install is to go). -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ [...] since digital bearer certificate technology, the most economical method for doing business on the net, is entirely based on digital signatures, which in turn are entirely based on very strong public key cryptography, all business on the internet will eventually require very strong cryptography. In other words, if you don't have unbreakable key sizes, you can't issue digital certificates to pay for things with. It would be like having paper money which is easy to forge. - Robert Hettinga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
