Bjorn,
You are absolutely correct. What the Corpsmen need to know is that, if
the vendor does something surprising, we need a machanism to detect that
and immediatly deflect to the vendor's helpdesk. I am very serious. The
distribtution needs a signature. Newsgroup questions require the
signature. If it fails, the question is immediately referred to the
vendor helpdesk. As I have spent a several quality hours responding to
these messages, I am a real fan of this scheme.
