For example, if it would be somehow        AF> possible to store CA pubkey in the nodelist, it could work.              That would mean a significant redesign of the format of the nodelist. WHich       would make a lot of nodelist processing sofware go in a flat spin. I am not       sure we should go that way...               AF> Or we could have a global FIDONET CA. :)              Experience with previous "centralised authority" in Fidonet tells me this is a       bad idea. Can you say "echolist"?              If I have to choose between the two evils of a centralised authority within       Fidonet or one outside Fidonet, I'd pefer the latter. At last the latter       presumably has no interest in playing fidonet politcal games.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 6 227/114 229/101 200       SEEN-BY: 229/354 426 1014 240/5832 249/307 317 280/464 5003 5555 292/854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 342/200 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2452/250 5019/40       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 464 229/426           |
