From: "David Shaw": Of course, there is only one
LDAP keyserver left for public use.


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

There are probably a whole lot of LDAP servers you
don't know about.  PGP produced a keyserver 
(software) for Windows that was free for non-
commercial use.  It gets the job done nicely, 
although a full replication of the world database
would probably occupy a few GB on a hard disk.
Many of these were synchronized with the PGP, Inc.
database, although they were also usable for sharing
public keys on a much smaller scale, such as keys
used for securing intra-family e-mail.  And, I'm sure
that some companies also used the PGP ldap server
software for storage of company keys -- although I
doubt that they had a realistic business plan for the
sales of this product.
