Closed maacl closed 13 years ago

maacl commented 13 years ago

starttls is not available on recent versions of Ubuntu due to security concerns.

I am using a recent version of Ubuntu, and you're right, it appears that starttls is no longer included.

+begin_example

9:05 roll:~ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 Codename: maverick 9:06 roll:~ which starttls starttls not found 9:06 roll:~ aptitude search starttls 9:06 roll:~

+end_example

it looks as thought I'm using gnutls (specifically the gnutls-bin package). Does that look to you like the correct replacement package? If so I'll update the starter kit documentation.

Thanks -- Eric

I not certain - not an expert in the area. I installed a starttls package for an older Ubuntu version which worked. I see that there is a starttls-use-gnutls function, which would ostensibly make gnus use gnutls instead, but as a newb I am not sure where to insert the call to starttls-use-gnutls.

Ok,

I just pushed up updated instructions for using gnutls rather than starttls. Thanks for bringing this up. -- Eric
