PGP query with SDA
Hi
I have a requirement to have a script which will encrypt a file on my HPUX server in such a way that the receiver of the file only has to enter a passphrase to decrypt (no swapping of keys, etc.) Ideally, I want to use some free software to perform the task.

From what I have read so far, the way to do this involves encrypting it using PGP Self Decrypting Archive (SDA) which allows users to send conventionally encrypted files to people who do not have PGP installed.

However I don't know what tool to use on a HP-UX platform to achieve this. GnuGp might be the way to go, but I don't know if it supports SDA or how successful it is on HP-UX.

All advice welcome
TIA

myproxy-admin-change-pass

myproxy-admin-change-pass(8)					      MyProxy					      myproxy-admin-change-pass(8)

NAME

       myproxy-admin-change-pass - change credential passphrase

SYNOPSIS

       myproxy-admin-change-pass [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  myproxy-admin-change-pass  command	changes  the passphrase used to encrypt a credential in the MyProxy repository.  The command first
       prompts for the current passphrase for the credential, then prompts twice for the new passphrase.  If an empty  passphrase  is  given,  the
       credential  will  not  be  encrypted.   It  accesses  the repository directly and must be run on the machine where the myproxy-server(8) is
       installed from the account that owns the repository.

OPTIONS

       -h     Displays command usage text and exits.

       -u     Displays command usage text and exits.

       -s dir Specifies the location of the credential storage directory.  The directory must be accessible only by the user running the  myproxy-
	      server process for security reasons.  Default: /var/lib/myproxy or /var/myproxy or $GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/myproxy

       -l username
	      Specifies the MyProxy account under which the credential should be stored.

       -k name
	      Specifies the credential name.

       -S, --stdin_pass
	      By  default, the command prompts for a passphrase and reads the passphrase from the active tty.  When running the command non-inter-
	      actively, there may be no associated tty.  Specifying this option tells the command to read passphrases from standard input  without
	      prompts or confirmation.

EXIT STATUS

       0 on success, >0 on error
