He should've used PGP!
since they had his computer, they had his PUBKEY and SECKEY files... and more than likely his pass phrase in simple encryption somewhere in his files...(fairly easy to break simple encryptions...like CRYPT command on unix...)

He could've kept his secring.pgp on diskette... :) -- Ed Carp erc@apple.com 510/659-9560 For anonymous mailers --> anonymus+5300@charcoal.com "Disagreements are not meant to be challenges. They are just a different reality." -- Risa D'Angeles

I apologize if this appears twice; I sent out a reply late last night but it hasn't shown up yet. And I can't remember if I sent it to the list or to the author... Okay, it would be incredible oversight on his part to "simple encrypt" his passphrase and leave it on his computer! It would be even worse if he put his passphrase in config.txt. But, he could have used "pgp -c" and IDEA encrypted his files, thus rendering pubring.pgp and secring.pgp useless information. So, he shouldn've used PGP! /-----------------------------------\ | Karl L.
