Re: [freenet-chat] Security - Legal Precaution
I tried to create a 100mb PGP disk, and everything went fine up until the actual mounting of the file as a drive. The whole PC keeps freezing up and won't let me to anything at all. I have to keep turning off my PC and turning it on again. I only have a Pentium 150 mhz with 32megs ram. What can I do? How large of a file can I create and actualy mount? Oh yeah, and KSK isn't secure, someone should insert a new key under an SSK. :) And I am absolutely bursting at the seams to talk about these two books by Christopher Stasheff. I GOTTA get it out of my system. So, this is just a notice that I will be posting the info and stuff on freenet and then talking about it in a message or two soon. :) On Thu, 3 May 2001 17:18:10 +1200 "David McNab" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi all, After my flight of paranoia, I've put my whole Freenet data store on an encrypted PGP disk.

Also, are they still releasing the source code for PGP for purposes of analysis? I seem to recall that Zimmerman recently left the company over the fact that they'd stopped releasing some of it. -- Let there be light. - Last words of Bomb #20, Dark Star ___ Chat mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
