pgpdomo is a set of replacement programs for Majordomo version 1.93 that will
allow you to perform PGP encrypted administration and distribution of encrypted
messages on selected lists while still retaining (mostly) normal operation of
your cleartext lists.

You will need the following stuff from other places before installing pgpdomo :

	Majordomo 1.93 
	PGP 2.6.2 (or compatible) for your Majordomo platform

Visit ftp.GreatCircle.com for Majordomo.  See the usenet group alt.security.pgp
FAQ for the nearest PGP location nearest you.

The above must be installed and functioning prior to installing pgpdomo.  See
INSTALL.DOC for installation details.

--------------------------

What PGP adds to Majordomo:

PGP adds to Majordomo two key elements: privacy and integrity.

Privacy:
	o Encrypted Administration - no clear text passwords!
	o Encrypted distribution 

integrity:
	o Senders Identity is assured - no spoofing
	o Content is original 

What Majordomo adds to PGP:

Majordomo greatly simplifies PGP's key management for you.  You
encrypt your submission for Majordomo and Mj re-encrypts the 
submission for all subscribers of the list.

Why do I need this stuff?

You may want to consider this as a viable solution to distribution 
of confidential information requiring privacy or integrity.

How secure is this?

This method of administrating/distributing private information is
only as secure as Majordomo's home directory.  If the server is configured
and administered properly, the human subscribers are the weakest link.
See INSTALL.DOC for some security quickies.

Please consider pgpdomo 1.93.P0.1 pre-release code as there are a few things
left to do:

	mkdigest
	index
	get
	put - new functionality
	(your ideas go here)

and mostly importantly, documentation. You will find the help message returned
from pgpdomo to be the most helpful for you right now.  Sorry.  Doco is in the
works.
