I'm not a big fan of SSL. It requires each Internet application to be patched. IMHO, a better approach is to push encryption/authentication down to the packet level. One possible tool for this is skip which has a linux port and is released under GPL: http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~skip/ In my copious free time I plan on packaging this for Debian. -- Jean Pierre -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.
