Folks This may related to my earlier question about signing the imported PGP public keys.
When I run gpg --list-sig, the imported public keys show that they are signed. However, when I run a test to encrypt a file with a key, I get the following message: [...@hrapp1 /tmp]$ gpg -e -r 0xEC3A911C gpg-test gpg: 52F8B69A: There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user pub 2048R/52F8B69A 2010-02-19 People <john....@people.com> Primary key fingerprint: C266 62C7 CA69 E6C7 9897 CAB1 3A4F C1XE E53A 0N1A Subkey fingerprint: 8943 8C7D 0626 11D9 4B33 A6720 55X5 B338 52H8 B29A It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named in the user ID. If you *really* know what you are doing, you may answer the next question with yes. Use this key anyway? (y/N) y I've tried using the --yes option without success to suppress this interactive prompt doesn't pop up. This encryption does need to run in a batch job. What do I need to do in order all interactive prompts are surpressed, and that the assumption is they are answered "yes". I may not understand signing a key properly. It did occur to me as I wrote this email and my earlier posting tonight that I may need to generate a new signature key and re-sign the keys in GPG. I haven't had a chance to try that tonight. Here is the output of the gpg --list-sig: [...@hrapp1 /tmp]$ gpg --list-sig /home/ir/.gnupg/pubring.gpg -------------------------------- pub 1024D/F43A8497 2010-03-03 [expires: 2020-02-29] uid PNNL <off...@pnl.gov> sig 3 F43B8497 2010-03-03 PNNL <off...@pnl.gov> sub 2048g/EA223A5A 2010-03-03 [expires: 2020-02-29] sig F43C6997 2010-03-03 PNNL <off...@pnl.gov> pub 2048R/EC3A911A 2010-01-19 uid People <john....@people.com> sig N EC3A911A 2010-01-19 People <john....@people.com> sig 733B4F7A 2010-01-19 ir <i...@pnl.gov> sub 2048R/5278B69A 2010-01-19 sig EC3B014A 2010-01-19 People <john....@people.com> Disclaimer: I've changed the id's and names to protect the innocent.

One of the batch jobs I have to convert uses: pgp +force This is supposed to assume a "yes" to any interactive questions. I wasn't clear after reading the man pages about the gpg --batch option. Can someone tell me if the --batch and the --yes options are mutually exclusive? Thanks. Cathy --- Cathy L.
