Hi,
Maybe this has already been noticed, but while reading the release notes
on 3.2 I stumbled across a picture of an example certificate. The
certificate reads 'DigiNotar'. Now this certificate company has had bad
publicity concerning certificates having been cracked by 'a less
reputable' government. The company was subsequently dumped by th Dutch
government who used the DigiNotar certificates. The company is now
bankrupt. Maybe it would be wise not to use this certificate as an
example concerning security matters in Linux and Gnome.
Kind regards,
Marten Kramer
