Some are free: <http://documentation.openoffice.org/online_help/htmlhelp/text/shared/guide/digital_signatures.html> However, the problem, as I see it, would be that every mirror would then also require a CA. As a side note & not to stir the OOo vs M$ pot; I have on occasion over the years found M$ sites (and others) with expired certificates. So I'm not so sure that just having a DC is all it's cracked up to be. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
