Fellow shorewall users,

I am new to the list.  Please forgive me if this question has been
covered already.  I searched the archives briefly and checked through
the documentation and couldn't find anything.

At the moment, I am attempting to download and install shorewall on a
server and would like to ensure that it's a valid copy.  I saw that
there is a GPG key at
https://lists.*shorewall*.net/*shorewall*.*gpg*.key and I thought,
"Great!  I can check to see that it's valid".  Unfortunately, the SSL
certificate for https://lists.shorewall.net is self signed, though.  Is
this how it has been forever, or has the server been hacked?  With it
being self signed, there's no chain of trust to assure me that the site
hasn't been hacked.  Could anybody provide me with a copy of the
Shorewall GPG key that they consider valid?

If it is the normal case that the certificate is self signed, I'd like
to suggest that lists.shorewall.net apply for a certificate from
http://www.cacert.org/.  That would at least provide a chain of trust
that I can rely on, even if it's not imported into most browsers.  This
way, I can assure my client that the code I installed on their server is
validly the shorewall that we all know and love rather than a trojan horse.

Thanks in advance to those who reply.  And thanks to all those who have
contributed to and supported shorewall over the years.  It has made my
job much easier on dozens and dozens of servers.

Kind regards,
Justis Peters
