I've been experimenting with gpg and have hit a little snag. First I create two user accounts. A and B. I logged in with A and did: # gpg --gen-key # gpg --export > pub_keys
I then did the same with B. Next I tried to import A's public key # gpg --import /home/A/pub_keys But I get the error message: gpg: Warning: using insecure memory! gpg: packet(6) with unknown version 64 gpg:/home/A/pub_keys: key XXXXXXXX: no user id gpg: Total number processed: 1 Then I log back into A and try to import B's public key. # gpg --import /home/B/pub_keys gpg: Warning: using insecure memory! gpg: packet(6) with unknown version 64 gpg:/home/B/pub_keys: key XXXXXXXX: no user id gpg: Total number processed: 1 The I try to encrypt a file so that only B can read it. # gpg -r B -se file1 gpg: B: skipped: public key not found gpg: file1: sign+encrypt failed: public key not found So, where am I going wrong? It has to be a stupid error in the export or import. But where? Also, why am I getting the insecure memory warning? I read the FAQ, README and gpg man page that came with the .deb, and followed the instructions. I thought they where pretty clear. Lots of examples, but I guess not clear enough. Is there another doc I should check out?
