-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Here's an idea that I always wanted to implement but never did yet. I thought I'd share and if someone else has already done it let me have a copy. I should be able to execute scripts remotely by sending e-mail to an account. Simple mail-handling scripts at that account should check the PGP signature (and timestamp/counter to prevent replay/delay attacks) and then pass the contents to a full script-language interpreter. Perl is a natural choice of interpreter. Has anybody implemented this (hopefully complete with replay/delay prevention)? Thanks! Bryce P.S. No, actually I can't think of any good use for this trick. But maybe if I had it I would find good uses for it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i Comment: Auto-signed under Unix with 'BAP' Easy-PGP v1.1b2 iQB1AwUBMd7FIEjbHy8sKZitAQHhRQMAmZoekRgmUKSYv89/QrkzRFdTUZLZHK8a tlaXLtyJXrOjajxJRVvXWY7Rum6mVXe/4eHTPCGzzWQdXMJB/TJSQeRmTuSiSd9i 0DtWcQSmP4q5AFor48NtNvqAOEonf5Vi =My90 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
