Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Guys,

Am facing issue in generating PGP keys. Can you please help me to figure this out??

I fired the below command to generate keys. The log say keys successfully created. But when i tried to list it doesnt shows me the keys created.

Code:

  
pgp --gen-key "pgptest<ram@gmail.com>" --key-type RSA --bits 2048 --passphrase "pass123"
pgptest<ram@gmail.com>generate key (2078:non-standard user ID)
Acquiring entropy from system state....done
Generating key pgptest<ram@gmail.com>" 
progress.....******* ................................................................................******* done
0xD2479DB8:generate key (0:key successfully generated)
Acquiring entropy from system state....done
Generating subkey
progress...................................******* ..........******* done
0xD3CA3F27:generate key (0:subkey successfully generated)

Does the PGP key needs to be created with root user??Am not using root user.


Any help is much appreciated!!!

Thanks in Advance!!!

What exactly do you do to try and list the keys?

I use the below command to list pgp keys


pgp -l and tried one more command as well.

pgp --list-keys

It display all the keys exists but not the one which I created

I have never used pgp. I use gpg instead and I'll bet that most people here do as well. Since pgp is a product maybe you can get support from the manufacturer.

But just a few guesses based on how gpg behaves... I cannot believe that root is required. That would be a very bad design decision. I can create a key with gpg and see it immediately with the --list-keys option. The key is created in files that reside in .gnupg. I need to be able to write to those files. pgp, while it probably uses different names, probably also stores stuff in files and thus needs to write to those files. So I guess I would check that.
