This is useless if you don't either lock any memory that contains plaintext (which requires a client or node to be written in C or C++ (or some other language which has very low level memory access, such as assembly language)), disable the swap partition, have no swap partition, or have an encrypted swap partition. -- Travis Bemann Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
