-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Pine does not support pgp directly, but it can do with external filters. The 10.2 distro has two, pgp4pine and pinepg. Both have problems. pgp4pine can decipher correctly, an verifies signatures - at least if they are inline, not attached. However, when sending, it has problems (bugzilla #251131): ... | | Loading public keyring (this may take a couple of seconds)... | ............ | Loading secret keyring (this may take a couple of seconds)... | ... | | Warning! It appears that you don't have a secret key defined! Please see | your PGP/GPG documentation for assistance in making a key pair! | That's the first problem: it is unable to find the sender key, which exists. Ie, it is unable to match the sender's mail address to a key in the keyring. | Checking recipients ... | | robin.listas@*********.net... - no key found | And next, it is unable to find the recipient's key - which also exists. Thus, it doesn't offer encryption, only signing: | | Your recipient list has unknown keys. You may: | a) Sign the message | b) Send it unmodified | c) Ask the Keyserver for unknown keys and start over | d) Open a shell to add their key manually, | q) Abort and Quit | | Make your choice [a]: | And it does sign correctly, with whichever happens to be my default key. This problem appeared with SuSE 10.1 or thereabouts. 9.1 was Ok, I think. Checking, I tried to look at the original pgp4pine site. The suse copy is from 2001, and the site, <http://pgp4pine.flatline.de> does no longer exist. Yes, I googled: nothing clear. So, I discover that suse also has a newer package, pinepg, and I try it. It is made in perl. It is sloooow! I have to press enter after verification of a key to read the email, and the key info is not displayed then. Two steps. Any way, it is possible to use different filters for reading or writing, so, hopefully, I try signing and encrypting... no good either, slow and broken: it caches the key, instead of relying in gpg-agent, and always uses the same cached key for a day. No good! What is left? Googling around, there seem to be many other projects for "pgp 4 pine", but I have no idea which one works and is reliable... :-( For instance, I found one at <http://packetstormsecurity.org/crypt/pine+pgp/>, but the page doesn't even load. There is <http://pgpenvelope.sourceforge.net/>, which I have downloaded, but it hasn't been updated since 2001, and it is also perl, meaning it will be slow... And it doesn't like the system: Warning: prerequisite AppConfig 1.52 not found. Warning: prerequisite Class::MethodMaker 0.96 not found. Warning: prerequisite GnuPG::Interface 0.3 not found. Warning: prerequisite String::Approx 3.13 not found. Writing Makefile for pgpenvelope Meaning that I would have to install all those before installing this one... too complex. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFF6/iJtTMYHG2NR9URAhZ9AJwKQKT9N/UqxlX2mcfb1Wg4YA54qgCglWI5 gStkxUpy8Vw2nFKvn+Vg4U8= =odTo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
