What you're suggesting isn't "safe" in any case. What I would do in your situation is the following: 1. Use mktemp to safely create a new, unique file 2. Send the decryption output to that file 3. Test if the "real" file exists, and if so unlink it 4. mv $newfile $realfilename hth, Doug _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
