-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Finally, after a few months of slacking off, I've finally gotten this remailer installation thing cleaned up to release it. I'll be throwing this in /pub/cypherpunks/incoming on soda.berkeley.edu. The Cypherpunks Anonymous Remailer Installation Version 1.0 Installer: Sameer Parekh Remailer: Eric Hughes & Hal Finney, with minor modifications by Sameer Parekh - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the Cypherpunks Anonymous Remailer Installation Suite Version 1.0. By simply running the script "install_remail" included in the archive, you can very easily install a cypherpunks anonymous remailer service in almost any UNIX account. The anonymous remailer uses the .forward file to pipe all mail to the remailer system. If mail to the remailer account is not acted upon by the remailer software, it lands in the standard mailbox of the account. First on the TODO list is to make it so that non-remailer mail is acted upon in a fashion which allows an alternate .forward file operation. To install: gunzip and untar the archive: % gunzip RemailInstall.tar.gz % tar xfv RemailInstall.tar execute the remail_install program: % remail_install answer all the questions. The program automatically self-tests, and mails me a notice saying that the remailer is in operation. I plan on writing a system which will wait one week after receiving the notice, after which your remailer will be pinged. If the ping is received, your remailer will be added to my list of active remailers, updated and posted weekly to the cypherpunks list. (Not yet operable, but the installation script still sends a notice.) Remember that running a remailer is a sensitive issue on the net. If you choose to run a remailer, keep in mind that some powerful net-personalities object to anonymous remailers, endangering your access to the internet. Stay free, Sameer sameer@uclink.berkeley.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a iQCVAgUBLOSxbXi7eNFdXppdAQFGgwP/SlSe8zKTH2QDY47cjdjbfHaR7NPBTtYv BYQ5nmHauYVwhoZxLVPUrdYUc2Gfv/5zIbgjb3df5ZWIaY6qo4dcsUtFHIR1CIvx SYJkBrLw22Jqfal2g2Wqzg+PsiQcsjjxREEVzyHaN3uNaQwYShXtwAhQ4Rfb3Bu2 AN6ytzyqg1A= =UFzz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
