CPU & Memory How to know if PGP has been installed on the Linux server?
Hi Guys

I am working on a project where is looking after the infrastructure and they have delivered RHEL servers.
I need to confirm if PGP has been installed on the newly delivered linux servers.

Is there any command I can run or directory I can go in to find that out.

Any help will be appreciated Smilie.

Thanks

RHEL is based on rpm, so perhaps something like

Code:
rpm -qa | grep -i pgp

should do the trick. (There is surely a more elegant way to use rpm but as AIX specialist i don't know it.) Alternatively do a

Code:
which pgp

or, depending on the shell you use
Code:
whereis pgp

to find out if it is in the PATH.

I hope this helps.

Result of above command:-
-sh-4.1$ rpm -qa | grep -i pgp
pgpcmdln-10.3.0.214-214.x86_64
( Does above result proves its been installed )

Try:
Code:
rpm -q pgp

but probably:
Code:
rpm -q gnupg2

otherwise use the name of the package..

To answer your question: pgp is installed. But it is not configured. Each user has to create key sets, for example. So if someone wants to encrypt data they cannot do it now.
