Hi,
Is there any good documentation about best practices for OpenPGP key
management? I plan to use gnupg (gpg), as it's conventional and seems like
the "best of breed" these days.
Most documentation I've found seems significantly out of date (including
long discussions of incompatibilities with ve

So, I'm going to upload a new package (python-dsniff) and maintain (or
co-maintain, with faidon) dsniff (the classical one) in the meantime.
Personally, I'm going to leave the dsniff maintenance when python-dsniff
becomes a comparable alternative.
Thanks for all your opinions,
luciano
