Java PGP encryption
Hi,

i am trying to encrypt a file using pgp with a recepient's public key. The file is encrypted but the output file has owner & group nobody. i am not able to change it either. Please let me know how to do pgp encryption so that i get the output with owner and group as the same user which runs the pgg.in my case root

Thanks
ren

Owner and group set as nobody while running as root is commonly due to the output directory being located on a NFS mountpoint.

If you are the NFS server administrator, yes, as this is a server setting.
Alternatively, you might want to run as a regular user. Logging in as root is a poor practice when not administrating a system, and even in that case tend to become obsolete.

You don"t tell if NFS is actually the issue in your case.
