Certificate Revocation Lists.” Also, today the i386 version of

FEATURE STORY: Using GnuPG with Pine for Secure E-Mail Many
people have no problems sending sensitive data via e-mail. Most of
us do not know how easy it is for anybody to read it. Just because
somebody holds the title of “Systems Administrator” does not mean
they can be trusted. What is stopping them from reading your
e-mail? Nothing. This is where PGP comes in; it is easy-to-use
encryption meant for the common person.
This week, advisories were released for xntp3, ntpd, vim, mailx,
kernel, pine, netscape, and mc. The vendors include Conectiva,
Caldera, Debian, EnGarde, Immunix, Mandrake, NetBSD, Progeny, Red
Hat, Slackware, SuSE, and Trustix.
