All systems are very stock 4.3-STABLE systems with as many non-used featues and extras turned off. We have opted for stability, and well known, well used parts for all systems.

Yes, I've tried to read up on the different public key applications available. We need to be able to exchange keys and encrypted, authenticated data with people on several different systems (HP-US, Solaris as well ass Windows). The issues I'm concerned with is being able to interchange encrypted stuff with users that aren't too clued up on fixing things on computers, but are able to use a GUI-thingy to actually encrypt and decrypt stuff (yes, Windows userd). I found this page. http://technocage.com/~caskey/gnupg/pgp2gnupg.html So it's possible to set up gnupg to actually work with the different versions of GPG and all key types, but it would require some work on our users (people on our local FreeBSD system) part. Might be possible, but probably will inflict confusion. Or? -- Med vänlig hälsning, Cheers!
