I know there are a few programming and systems administrator experts here, and I'm hoping someone might have some ability to help out. I'm trying to set up a PGP infrastructure in our Novell centric environment. Before I get into the specifics, are there any folks familiar with these things that would be willing to offer some assistance?

Thanks.

I've done a bit of netware stuff, but never played with pgp encryption, do you just want to set up pgp on email or what?

You might have better luck asking a novell or pgp forum.

Yeah I would *think* I'd have better luck elsewhere. I've tried the Novell forum and haven't gotten a single reply on that forum in several days. Not even a "Yeah, RIGHT!" response. And the forum's not dead, there's been twenty ...er wait this is Film Tech... 2wenty other problems/resolutions posted since mine. I've had some luck on the PGP forum, but I'm not sure the guy is Netware centric.

Yes, I want to use PGP to encrypt email, files and what not, but I want to figure out how to properly tie everything to the NDS tree, and how to structure the key heirarchy properly. I'm basically looking for real world examples, lessons learned by folks who have done it before etc.

If there isn't anyone here who has any idea what I'm talking about, it wouldn't surprise me because experts in this topic seem to be few and far between. There's just no harm in asking.

Thanks!
