Good Morning--
I'm looking to shore up security in my system and with communications.
Can you point me to the proper version of GnuPG for CentOS 5.3 (Final)?
Thanks,
Dick

If you want something newer you'll have to look further, eg to the epel repo. IMO the default install of gpg is good enough. Remember, you break it, you get to keep the pieces. Is this for use with Evolution or Thinderbird? -- /Sorin -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
