No, Steve, you're NOT crazy and YES this was a completely unintentional thing. I did nothing out of the ordinary - I only addressed my mail to the list (as usual). Furthermore, my subject field was replaced with "Unknown subject" - which was expressly NOT the subject of my original posting. Who's tinkering? ...Please STOP. I don't want my mail or anyone else's to trigger any more of these listings. I'm wondering out loud if this anomaly could indicate some subrosa official investigation of our list - perhaps someone Not Silly at All has been in to take a look and needs these lists of members? Hmmmm. dave del torto aka d2t

Clinton/Gore and Commerace vs. State...
by Peter Wayner 08 Mar '93

08 Mar '93

I seem to remember that Clinton and Gore indicated that they would move regulation of the encryption technology from the State Dept to the Commerace Dept when they were elected. Now, things are more on hold. Can anyone bring me up-to-date on the whole story? -Peter

PGP 2.2 is hard to find...!
by Doug Mason - MIS Czar 08 Mar '93

08 Mar '93

The _ONLY_ place that I have been able to find PGP 2.2 is on soda.berkeley.edu, thanks to Eric. Ever other place that has been advertised seems to be empty for whatever reasons. Apparently it was at some of these locations previously, as others say that this is where their copy came from, but it is only on Soda as of this morning (Monday). --Doug --- Douglas Mason douglas(a)approach.com Network Administration CompuServe: 76646,3367 Approach Software Corporation +01 415.306.7890

PGP v2.2

Would someone be so kind as to post the filename(s), directories and FTP locations for PGP v2.2? All references that I have read so far have been vague or incomplete. Muchas gracias.

Re: You Aren't [I'm Not]

ted, i think that with just a little of the right technical stuff, it is very easy to establish a nym in today's nets. e.g., if you buy a cheap unix box, it comes with uucp, so you can hook up to one of many anonymous uucp sites. that's easy. i know of several slip/ppp endpoints that aren't password protected. more every day, in fact. that's easy. perhaps it's this easy with fido. the point of remailers is to enable this technology to the technologically challenged. (as well as to explore the technical and social space that nyms define.) peter

FYI, I tried src.doc.ic.ac.uk:tmp/pgp and the directory was empty. Doug

Mailer weirdness

[Disclaimer: this may very well be a dumb newbie-type thing] The last two messages posted to the list by David Del Torto popped up in my mailer with a long list of "Apparently To" fields, thus identifying a bunch of list members. This is something of a breach of privacy for anyone who didn't want to be known as a cypherpunk. Beggin' your pardon if this strikes you as an amazingly lame thing to bring up; I'm relatively new to mailing lists and Internet, and my eyes film over after relatively short exposure to the RFCs, so I ain't read all the relevant ones yet. -- Steve

Pgp 2.2 is out
by mccoy＠ccwf.cc.utexas.edu 07 Mar '93

Well, since no one else seems to have mentioned it and it seems somewhat important to the general purpose of this list, I thought I would make sure poeple knew that PGP 2.2 is not out and available at ftp sites. Here are the sites listed in the announcement in alt.security.pgp: nic.funet.fi:pub/msdos/incoming garbo.uwasa.fi:pc/incoming src.doc.ic.ac.uk:tmp/pgp I snagged mine from src.doc.ic.ac.uk, so I know it is at least at that site... jim
