I think what we are hoping for is a jack for a mouted switch (either internal or external) to turn the WP on or off manually. It would be nice to be able to do it remotely, but in all cases that is no better than deleting the "mount" command during init. PGP is supposed to be dropped from development now (open source anyway). GPG would probably be better, but if going that route, maybe RSA/DSA would be the most secure route. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
