does that mean that RedHat / Fedora are sensible to virus :-p btw, can you update bugzilla #347771 to point the working branch: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/nut/branches/ssl-nss-port/ I'll ping you back once we have something that can be tested... One more question: do you (RH / Fedora) already have UIs for certificates management (both textual and graphical)? Or do you know anything that can suit the purpose? cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://powerquality.eaton.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/
