Yes....but for all I know, all that can be done with PGP and email to hostmaster at ripe.net or equivalent mail address as well. > > So, for the foreseeable future, we have to train the staff using > the right tool for the right matter, which is just additional > workload.

I will admit that I have concerns about the X.509 stuff, like the authorization chain to the mirrors (that I did a poor job of explaining in Amsterdam). but I am not sure there is that much issue with using both systems. - - kurtis - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0.3 iQA/AwUBQD4H7KarNKXTPFCVEQLKCgCeMWrmQaopyJacVnFQEsTdjthz/aAAmgK6 JUAuPU+SBgD6e2ggsJMFMSv4 =Uzze -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
