    These kind of trojans have some tradition on the Amiga, remember the Saddam virus and the Disk-Validator.

    While I know that MorphOS is not really safe I still guess NSA/GCHQ/BND/KGB/FSB/Mossad/BRGE/GAB/... rather lacks the experts, machines and awareness about MorphOS (I guess they know about, but have seen that this is a hobby niche system and not the preferred comunication system of $evil aka international terrorism). Hence, as long as MorphOS stays in its ultraniche I consider it safe by obscurity. And then the trojan has to be placed to the system again. For attacks like modified original system files an automated file comparisator (checks md5s from local copies with .iso copies) would be handy.

    But still there's the question about good gpg integration and yam. As I get it from nobody answering this I assume that gpg 1.4.2 and using it manually on the console is best there is. I know there's gpg integration is planed for YAM, but it seems that will take quite a while. Maybe it's worthwhile to make a pgp gpg wrapper (one that at least provides the required pgp compability to be run out of YAM).

    Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
