I did rm-f /var/cache/yum/*, then "yum install cryptplug". After 
downloading
the list of headers, the final result was:
"Cannot find a package matching cryptplug
No actions to take
[root at dhcp-151-7 root]#"
This doesn't make any sense, since cryptplug *is* listed in the _default_
yum & apt stable packages:
http://www.fedora.us/pkglists/fedora-1-stable.html

FWIW, I haven't done changes to the default yum.conf file, so this
repository should be there, shouldn't it?
Before I forget, my reason for wanting cryptplug is because I've installed
enigmail and am about to generate my PGP keys.
... or do I *NOT* need cryptplug, once enigmail is installed?

TIA,

Elton ;-)
