Actually I was so desperate that even restarted the system. Doesn't help. I followed the instructions on this page http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html#gnupg When I pass the command "echo "test" | gpg -ase -r 0xDEADBEEF | gpg" as mentioned on the page, I get an error that says "gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use". Seems as though gpg-agent is not allowing connections. Anyways to solve this problem. I am completely stumped. Abhay -- gentoo-security@gentoo.org mailing list
