I have been working the past few days, so was not aware. Now, I wonder if I must reinstall the system with an rc1 .iso, or if a CVSup, portupgrade/make world will do? Second question: why do many users on the list PGP sign messages? Is there something nefarious out there about which I should worry? Is PGP-signing really providing a great deal of security?
