Sorry, bbstored-config? Users aren't supposed to be running stores on 
Windows.

My guess is that people are hand-customising the supplied bbackupd.conf 
file, and generating their keys on a Unix system. I think that Pete 
Jalajas has an OpenSSL script that generates keys on Windows.

Anything you can get easily would be great :-) I suspect most people don't 
have machines with duplicate names in different domains anyway, and they 
can customise the script if they do :-)

Cheers, Chris.
