How are you dealing with export issues for Kerberos, gnupg, and
netscape? Do you offer bones and slimmed down netscape/gnupg
encryption? Or do you just restrict access with FTP banners and the
like?
If you don't mind, I might like to pick your brain about how you did this.
We've recently started supporting RedHat at NCSA, but right now it's
not a full-blown effort (I wrote up some docs on Kerberos 5/AFS install
stuff, then send someoe over to do it all by hand on the system). So I've
been thinking about trying to "roll our own", but I'm not sure if it will take
more time or not. But what I really want to do is be able to let this manage
itself after a while so that I can focus on things like the email
infrastructure
redesign.
I think I'm babbling -- I just woke up and am not quite lucid... :)
Anyhow, I'm curious how many man hours and what kind of resources it
took to get this set up, and how hard you anticipate it being to keep things
up-to-date....
