This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --===============1738707301== Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="------------enigDF8003388E1B774665D6C32E" This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigDF8003388E1B774665D6C32E Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, for a very, very long time (even when a keyserver was a Perl script), SURFnet has been funding PGP keyservers. In august 2004, SURFnet installed a new dedicated SKS keyserver hkp://pgp.surfnet.nl:11371 which is also known as minsky.surfnet.nl The previous machine, horowitz.surfnet.nl is currently still operational; it handles between 1M and 2M *LDAP* keyserver requests per month. Nevertheless, at the end of this month good old horowitz (a Solaris Enterprise 1 box of previous century quality) will go off-line. Its problem is not the age of the hardware but the fading away of Solaris at Tilburg University. (We're a Debian site now.) I have requested PGP.com to point the europe.keys.pgp.com cname alias to one of their own servers. cheers, teun --------------enigDF8003388E1B774665D6C32E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFC+IUK14y85WanSzERAq8WAKClrzfAayQ7pHbGWJTMJKlZR/0/LgCghh5+ s9LvrKmJ10C/uOt+ObSJbDM= =FX4U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigDF8003388E1B774665D6C32E-- --===============1738707301== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline
