 I need your help really urgent. I created a GPG key on a server with a
 username. When i try to encrypt a file using that same key but using a
 different NT user account it doesn't work.
 How can I grant other users access to the key?

Sounds like the directories and sub-directories where GPG stands have not 
enough permissions for other users.

 Can anyone offer some reasons for this?  Did we gen or export or import the
 key incorrectly?

May be there are two similar usernames or part of them in your keyring.

 I am trying to upgrade to GPG2 and am having trouble, I think all stemming
 from the new user agent feature. My first question: is there a way to simply

Well, it is available for 6 years and GnuPG 2.0 was released 3 years
ago.  Gpg-agent is not optional but a cornerstone of GnuPG-2.

To let us help you fixing your installation, you should give us a bit
more detailed information and exact error messages.

Re: manual for gpgme

2009-09-26 Thread Andreas Reuleaux
This is what I did (I am new to this list however, so more
experienced people might have better answers):

download the source code of gpgme, cd into the directory,
there is a doc directory in there, with some Makefile stanza Makefile.am
or the like.

I ran 
  $ ./configure 
from the main directory (the one above doc),
just so that the real Makefile was produced in doc

I also had to also install libgpg-error-dev (I am on Debian squeeze),
  # apt-get install libgpg-error-dev
so that the ./configure would go through smoothly
(just as if I had wanted to really build gpgme, I happen to feel
more comfortable however, if everything - the Makefile in this case - 
is built automatically)

Then (with a Makefile in doc), I ran 
  $ make pdf
there, complains still about texi2dvi not being found on my
system, fixed that by installing
  # apt-get install texinfo
and there you go: 
  $ make pdf
should work now.

hope this helps,
  -Andreas

 Where can I find a manual for gpgme's API?
 On gnupg's homepage, a reference manual is referenced, but there is no such
 manual under Documentation - Manuals.
 A search on Google only turns up a non-downloadable outdated version of the
 manual for 1.1.6 on pyme.sourceforge.net.
 I see in gpgme download readme that there is supposed to be a manual
 included in /doc, but I'm not sure what to do with those.  I understand I
 should be doing something with texinfo, so I downloaded and installed it,
 but I get a segfault when I run makeinfo --html texinfo.tex.  Am I doing
 something wrong there?  Is there anyway to read the manual directly without
 having to convert it into another format?
 Thanks

 And as a conclusion, Elgamal problems would be harder to solve. Is it correct?

No; it is not sure that the discrete logarithm problem is harder to
solve that the factoring problem.

Re: Decryption Fails on UserName but not on EmailAddress ???

2009-09-26 Thread nschroth

David,

On the target (recipient) machine:
  --list-keys shows my Primary Key, My desktop Key and a co-worker's desktop
key
  --list-secret-keys shows only my Primary Ke
  --list-keys PrimaryKeyUserName it only lists my primary key.

This has happen when a file was encrypted from EITHER my desktop or
mycoworker's desktop.

 It sounds like you have two keys.  When you use -r username you're  
 matching one of them.  When you use -r emailaddr...@example.com  
 you're matching the other one.
 
 Check your keyring to be sure: do a gpg --list-keys username to see  
 all keys that match that name.
 
 David
