Export of this software may be restricted by the U.S. government. ----- At first we generated keys on the AIX server and then exported the keys to Windows, but PGP made RSA/IDEA keys which GnuPG can't decrypt, so I decided to generate the keys on GnuPG on Windows and then export to the AIX server. I've tried it now multiple times with different keys, and each time I try to edit the key or decrypt something I get errors on AIX. I am absolutely sure I am typing the pass phrase correctly, because I can do all of the same things on Windows by typing the same pass phrase, and I even edited the key to change the pass phrase multiple times to simple things (like abc123) and then exported to AIX again and on AIX I still couldn't authenticate. I can encrypt to the public key on AIX just fine. It's only when I need to type the phass phrase that I get errors. What could be the problem? I've searched this forum, the documentation of both PGP and GnuPG, the web in general, and I'm at a loss.
