I want to decrypt those gpg encrypted files up u can see. My system details are :

root@ecmstest # uname -a
SunOS ecmstest 5.10 Generic_147441-12 i86pc i386 i86pc

root@ecmstest #
gpg.SunOS ApplicationMedia_38674.tar.gpgroot@ecmstest #
gpg.SunOS: not found
root@ecmstest #

I have an instruction guide telling me how to decrypt when i am folllowing that it doesnt work Smilie

The decription process is started by the unix command:
1. gpg.<OS> PROJECT010512.12345.tar.gpg; press <enter>

My system is not recognizing gpg utility. Please help me.

gpg is not installed by default on Solaris. You may not have it.

Code:
pkginfo | grep gpg

will show you if you have it. If you have it: You will have to use the find utility to locate it, then add that directory to your PATH variable.

Otherwise:
go here:
Sunfreeware - Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Sun Microsystem's Solaris

download the gpg module. It has dependencies (other required software).
You can then install it.
