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.
PGP 6 is really, really old. It predates some of the OpenPGP
standard, so I suspect a passphrase encoding problem between the two
programs. I suggest removing the passphrase completely (just hit
enter when asked for the new passprase), then copying the key over to
PGP, and changing the passphrase to what you want it to be.
Key for user ID: <userid>
1024-bit DSS key, Key ID 0xxxxxxxxxF, created 2008/09/15
Key can sign.
You need a pass phrase to unlock your secret key.
Enter pass phrase:
received signal 11
[no cleartext file is created]
That said, a signal 11 is a segfault. If PGP is actually *crashing*,
there isn't much you can do.
