When we did our test implementation at Appalachian State I used FreeBSD 6.x and all of *my* clients are running FreeBSD 7. The only gotchas I can think of were that you want to use apache2 to reduce the SSL headache and you want to make sure to include the crypto sources when you do the install (it gives you c_rehash and some other relevant pieces). I've also done a cosignd setup on Gentoo Linux with minimal headache - but I've been a strictly BSD and Gentoo guy for several years and do not recommend using either FreeBSD *or* Gentoo Linux if you're not already intimately familiar with them. Our production implementation went on, I believe, a modified Red Hat Enterprise rig. It was, from my understanding, a quick and easy installation. CentOS would likely be a very simple installation as well. kmw -- Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Cosign-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cosign-discuss
