problems with gnupg-pgp
hello i've recently installed gnupg to be able to communicate with some persons who are using PGP (i like free alternatives :) before installing i certified that both systems were compatible. i sucessfully created my private and public keys and we exchanged them. after that, i send a couple of test emails to another person using GPG, and we were able to encrypt and decrypt the message. however, i can not do the same with the PGP guys. when i try to decrypt the message i get an error saying something it is not a valid file... i checked some docs and faqs, and found out that to have compatibility the PGP version must be 5.x or higher.. they are using 8, so that is not a problem. what can i do to solve this? or to find out whats wrong..? thank you very much nuno donato ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Check that your own keys are still set to ultimate trust, then run $ gpg --update-trustdb (It should find and re-import the old trust settings once your own key(s) is/are ultimately trusted again).

Re: Using other compression algos with GnuPG
Hi! just a short note: The reason why we have compresion algorithms in OpenPGP are mainly out of tradition. On a Unix system the use of specialized tools is the way to go; e.g. gpg for encryption and bzip2 for compressing. If you want to compress your data with a different algorithm you may run foocompressor data.txt | gpg -e >data.foo.gpg Shalom-Salam, Werner ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

So, possibly the HOMEDIR could have changed, which would result in an "empty" keyring.

Standard question: did you install the IDEA extension for GnuPG? If not, make sure that PGP doesn't encrypt the file with the IDEA algorithm, or, better, install the IDEA extension (a dll if you're running windows, a C source file to the source and a recompile on another system).

Trouble with enigmail and Thunderbird 1.5
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have recently switched ISP, but I also upgraded Thunderbird at the same time. Now when I get a gpg signed e-mail, I supposedly can check the pen? and it will offer to download the key, giving me a choice of keyservers. I generally pick random.sks.keyserver.penguin.de But now, when I do that, it just buzzes around and never downloads the key. I looked at my firewall, and it is not blocking it. I tried it manually with gpg --keyserver keyserver.kjsl.com --recv-key 0xF621EDAD for example, and it worked fine. Is this a known problem? Or should I find a Thunderbird newsgroup to ask?

GnuPG was looking for the keyring in its own directory, c:\program files\gnu\gnupg, rather than under the user specific directory where the keyring lives normally. I'm not used to using it from the command line, but I saw that in the gpg directory there were 0 byte keyrings so I deleted them, then ran the --list-keys command and it recreated them. Assuming, therefore, that it had "lost" the directory, I read back in the install notes and found the appropriate registry key and reset it to point GnuPG back at my keyrings and voila! - all was well. Anyway, thanks to everyone for the help. Now the only problem is to get rid of the bits of GPGOL left in Outlook - every time I run it I get an error message telling me it can't find the GPGOL .dll file - hardly surprising because I deleted it. It looks as though there are a few registry entries I haven't found and deleted yet. Still, now everything is working again that's the least of my worries.

To my knowledge I wouldn't have more informations, except perhaps the fact I suppose was the reason that my mailer in the reply routine takes over the name of the sender of the message I reply to, and puts after his name the address of the list in the TO field. Vedaal though does not use his name in address field but only naked/nude address, so my mailer took over his address, placed it on the place for the name, and added address of the list after. It made actually a form thus which is not "standard", namely "address " and it was probably the syntax which confused the server.
