He's talking about a GNU Key. If you've heard of PGP (or Pretty Good Privacy) it's similar. It's a computerized way of "signing" things to prove that you are the originator of the message. It's a long and complex thing to explain. I suggest you read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard It has a lot of information about it, as well as links to more information that better explains it. If you don't have the time, just think of it as a digital signature that cannot be duplicated by anyone other than you, but can (like a real signature) be verified by anyone as being yours. -- Registered Linux Addict #431495 http://profile.xfire.com/mrstalinman | John 3:16! http://www.fsdev.net/ | http://lordsauron.wordpress.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
