Re: Email encryption options for FreeBSD?
Hi folks,
I ran portupgrade and then make, install, & clean for gnupg.
However, it seems that the version that is now installed is:
gnupg-1.0.6_1
How to I get to the latest version?

I'd recommend it, if only to get the most recent security patches for your
system.
> # portupgrade gnupg -arR
The '-a' will upgrade everything on your system. Is that what you want?
Another option may be:
# portupgrade -N security/gnupg
which will upgrade all dependencies, then install gnupg.
> (Would I need to be logged in as root, or would a super user be fine?)
I'm pretty sure you'll need to be root (or using sudo to execute the
commands as root).
> 6. Would I need to reboot to have full functionality?
Not likely at all. I'd be very surprised if any of this required a reboot.

Yep.

Sure. The second one has this block:
$commandline = "echo $body | /usr/bin/gpg --homedir /home/username/.gnupg -a -r 'Full
Username' -e -";
if ($debug==1) {
system($commandline);
} else {
exec($commandline,$encrypted);
}
If you've already written the mailer, you could probably stick the above
(modified to suit) somewhere before the mail() function and leave the rest
of your script intact.

Sure! Just send $29.95 (plus $11.23 s/h) for my three-step program. ;-)

No problem. Good luck!

Email encryption options for FreeBSD?
Hi folks, I'd like to use the PHP mail() function to send back some sensitive information. The command pkg_info doesn't show any encryption packages installed. Does anyone have some experience with sending out encrypted emails? Thanks a bunch for any illumination you can provide!
