I remember that gnupg.options was the ancestor of > gpg.conf (probably before gnupg 1.2.*). Just rename (mv) options to gpg.conf. Even that isn't strictly necessary AFAIK, as gpg will read the options file if no gpg.conf is found. > Sorry if the question seems [is] silly, but I have a block.

Robert suggested gedit, but if you have KDE (you mentioned that you installed kgpg), you can use Kate or KWrite (personally, I like Kate because KDE is pretty and GNOME is ugly IMO), but any of these (or a terminal-based editor if you want, or really, pretty much any text editor at all) will work. -- Windows NT 5.1.2600.2180 | Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 | Enigmail 0.95.5 | GPG 1.4.7 Key ID: 0xF88E034060A78FCB - available on major keyservers and upon request Fingerprint: 4A84 CAE2 A0D3 2AEB 71F6 07FD F88E 0340 60A7 8FCB ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

You're right, it should be gpg.conf. The good news is most of your OS X Terminal.app skills will apply here. OS X 10.4 and 10.5 both use a program called 'bash' to provide a command line. So does Ubuntu. Prior to 10.4, OS X used tcsh instead of bash; if you're more comfortable with 10.0-10.3 behavior, talk to me off-list and we can get Ubuntu set up with tcsh. I'd suggest doing 'gedit ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf &' and just editing it that way. Gedit is the standard GNOME editor and should be much friendlier than using nano. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
