Hi Othyro,

Would you be kind enough to help me or guide me on setting up SqWebmail on FC3? Im a bit confused on what to install etc. Hoping there might be some good sites to explain how to setup from scratch.

Regards

I stopped using Leenox for anything useful years ago, so not sure how much help
I'd be...what I can suggest is using the NetBSD Packages Collection
(www.pkgsrc.org) to build these packages. The newest stable releases of
SqWebMail and friends are in the latest stable branch, 2005Q1. Basically, I just
built and installed GPG, and when SqWebMail's configure script runs before the
build, it finds the path to GPG. Have you read the documentation which comes
with SqWebMail and pertains to GPG?

The only other thing I can suggest is having a decent entropy source. This can
take the key generation process a lot less time. If you can use one of the
hardware encryption accellerator cards (like the ones at www.soekris.com or
similar), that's great. Otherwise, you have to rely on pseudo random data
generated via software. There's two packages I know of, egd and prngd, both of
which are in pkgsrc. EGD will take up a ridiculous amount of time on your cpu
and PRNGD won't, and in my mind is a better package. If you go this route, read
the docu that comes with these packages.

Anything else that's not covered in the docu, let us know.
