Hello. I'm using GNU/Linux (distro: Ubuntu), not FreeBSD - sorry, I forgot to inform this. But, anyway, I did what you instructed: > $ gpg --version > gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.20 > Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later > <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> > This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. > There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. > > Home: ~/.gnupg > Supported algorithms: > Pubkey: RSA, RSA-E, RSA-S, ELG-E, DSA > Cipher: IDEA, 3DES, CAST5, BLOWFISH, AES, AES192, AES256, > TWOFISH, CAMELLIA128, CAMELLIA192, CAMELLIA256 > Hash: MD5, SHA1, RIPEMD160, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, > SHA224 > Compression: Uncompressed, ZIP, ZLIB, BZIP2 And: > $ ls -lh /usr/bin/gpg* > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 985K Aug 18 08:54 /usr/bin/gpg > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 896K Apr 8 2016 /usr/bin/gpg2 > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 345K Apr 8 2016 /usr/bin/gpg-agent > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 137K Apr 8 2016 /usr/bin/gpgconf > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 139K Apr 8 2016 /usr/bin/gpg-connect-agent > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27K Apr 8 2016 /usr/bin/gpgparsemail > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 59K Aug 18 08:54 /usr/bin/gpgsplit > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 364K Aug 18 08:54 /usr/bin/gpgv > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3,3K Aug 18 08:54 /usr/bin/gpg-zip So, I have both gpg and gpg2. I can't create a symlink because gpg really exist, it's used for the VPN (when I uninstalled gpg yesterday, the VPN, I could not login anymore, and when I reinstalled the VPN today, it installed gpg too).
Here's gpg2: > $ gpg2 --version > gpg (GnuPG) 2.1.11 > libgcrypt 1.6.5 > Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later > <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> > This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. > There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. > > Home: ~/.gnupg > Supported algorithms: > Pubkey: RSA, ELG, DSA, ECDH, ECDSA, EDDSA > Cipher: IDEA, 3DES, CAST5, BLOWFISH, AES, AES192, AES256, > TWOFISH, CAMELLIA128, CAMELLIA192, CAMELLIA256 > Hash: SHA1, RIPEMD160, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, SHA224 > Compression: Uncompressed, ZIP, ZLIB, BZIP2 Should then I use /gpg2 --gen-key/? Maybe /gpg2 --full-generate-key/? Em 15/02/2017 10:53, LeRoy escreveu: > On 02/14/2017 06:47 PM, Anders Bateva wrote: > > Hello.
