For what it's worth, I'm still planning to run a remailer again when I get settled down somewhere. (I don't think remailers do much good where the operator isn't root, so I'm not bothering with trying to run one on someone else's system.) My debt/asset ratio is bad enough from all of this school that I don't have much for anyone to levy against. Ha, ha. Anyone want some rapidly obsolescing computer and law books? :(

Why, precisely, do you think that remailers don't do much good where the operator isn't root? The possibility of the sysop looking at the mail & getting the private key, the increased susceptibility to cracking of non-root accounts, possible sysop non-cooperation in an honest manner (as opposed to the first one), or what? Thanks, -Allen
