 is it possible to create bookmarks for ssh connections? For example, I

 ncftp supports this feature.

What is so difficult about reading the manpage and looking for User
and Host in it? 

Host sample
 Hostname bla.sample.xyz
 User user

Would you mind consulting please the available manpages and other
documentation first, before sending such a question to this list?

Who is we and why do you want to help out? Do you know what SourceForge
is and what kind of connection and machines they already donate? SAS and
stormpkg will remain GPL as they are currently licensed under GPL.

Just a short note here. stormpkg and SAS will be further developed via
sourceforge, where already some people created the nessecary projetcs
and will maintain the code.

 So far your attitude has been Take quake out of Debian entirely now or I
 will shut down my mirror because I don't have time to make sure my mirror
 is legal and I want you to do it for me.  If that's how it has to be,
 that's how it has to be.  You're better to stop mirroring.

You definitely misunderstand what I write. You assume things that I
don't write. Plese stop this or this discussion want reach far. I want
to provide every FTP-Maintainer with a mechanismen which makes it easier
for them to mirror only those packages that are legal. Nothing else.

   Didn't rhide begin in the DOS world?  It would have to be heavily
 modified to be usefull in the Unix world, wouldn't it?

No, I looked at the homepage yesterday and the authors are porting it to
Linux. You can get the sources and static compiled binaries. For the
compilation you need the source of gdb, AFAIK. But that shouldn't be a
problem with Debian.

  Aroo?  In what way is SLRN's scoring poor?  IMHO it is pretty much

 I dunno about scoring--I rarely use the function, but I re-migrated back
 to TRN when I realized that SLRN had no killfiles, what I consider to be
 an essential tool in USENET.

If a give a person or a subject a score of - it is killed and I
don't see his articles anymore. This score can also be lowered by the
configuration to other values. So you have a combined Score- and
Killfile.

Re: How to import pub keys with gnupg

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Well, using the '-a' on the export did work to get rid of the 
 'public key not found' error when doing:

 # gpg -r B -se file1

That's the correct syntax for doing this. 

 I had actually tried this before.  But when 'B' goes to decrypt 
 the file1.gpg this is what happens:

 #cat /home/A/file1.gpg | gpg
 gpg: public key decryption failed: secret key not available
 gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available

 Why can't B find his own secret key? It should be in his .gnupg 
 directory.  

It looks like the secret-key is not available. This can be checked by
doing gpg --list-secret-keys. Then you see which secret key is
available for encrypten and/or signing. With gpg --list-keys you can
see who's key is available. So you should check the available keys
carefully. It looks like you have made a mistake while importing and
exporting the keys. I suggest that you deleted the files in the .gnupg
directory and generate new keys and then export them with the -a-Option
and you should always specific who's key you want to export.

 Thanks for the help with the unsecured memory.

Hm, I'm going to look if this is a know bug or not and then write a mail
to the maintainer.

 Use GNUs to read your mailing list mail and it can autoexpire articles

Also mutt can expire articles after a certain time, which is
configurable. I'm using this here and it works great. Here's the

 I've been experimenting with gpg and have hit a little snag.

[some stuff deleted]
 So, where am I going wrong?  It has to be a stupid error in the export or 
 import. But where?

You should try the option -a. So you should use the following command to
extract a key gpg --export -a _name_of_key_. 

 Also, why am I getting the insecure memory warning?

Because it would be better to make gpg suidroot, because then it use
secure memory and also drops this bit very fast. I'm using it here and
it works great. This way is also recommend by the author of gnupg.
