Re: ANON/ANNOUNCE: Sysadmin Policies at Universities (and high schools)
don't overreact -- they are withdrawing support of pgp (i'm surprised they offered it in the first place), but are they prohibiting users from building and using pgp? now *that* would be an outrage. are they? peter

No, not yet anyway. I've announced it in the local school newsgroups that I have pgp available in my directories (with world readable and executable permisions). But my original intent was to get pgp working in a system directory so that I wouldn't have to spare my own quota (what little I have of it). PGP eats up space! I'm begining to wonder if someday they'll say something like, "Stop using PGP or we'll close your account." That's when I'll seriously have to consider transferring. -- +==== Internet: babani@cs.buffalo.edu ===+======== Amateur-Radio: N2LYC ======+ !
