Hi Jason,

> gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
> gpg: /home/grads/jelliot/.gnupg/secring.gpg: keyring created

 I have no experience with GPG specifically, but the warning probably means 
that GPG is using normal memory, which is swapable. This means that your 
unencrypted private key could end up on your swap partition. Someone with 
access to your system could acquire your key this way. GPG can clean 
(overwrite) memory after storing vulnerable key data, but not the swap 
partition. 

> gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

 Gpg is tries to verify a message, but can't find the public key in your key 
table.
 If you bother to use PGP/GPG for secure mail transfer I suggest you start 
reading some docs on this, fe the Secure-Programs-HOWTO, the Security-HOWTO, 
etc.

                                        Bye,

                                        Leonard.
