Mainly for unSpawn....low priority remains
1) delete home user .gnupg folder
2) gpg --gen-key
in creating that key I noticed I needed to put in a name.
I allege somehow in 2007 unSpawn used
" " to enclose that name because before I created new keys etc...my old
folder allowed command
$ gpg --fingerprint
/home/gordy/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

pub 1024R/A65F5E17 2007-07-22
Key fingerprint = E15B CD4D 6F14 E91D 1DD5 31A9 EA5F 4CD3 A65F 5E17
uid "rkhun...@hushmail.com" <rkhun...@hushmail.com>
sub 2048R/26447505 2007-07-22
4) while mine shows up as
pub 1024D/28B6ECAB 2009-01-05
Key fingerprint = 5646 B2AE 18CE 1D95 F9C9 4D1F A0EC 4CB2 28B6 ECAB
uid Secret Squirrel <lqa...@gmail.com>
sub 2048g/C6ABD45B 2009-01-05
Maybe on another box...unSpawn could replicate in a sandbox etc....and
verify I am telling him the truth?
I am not sure I have the right to tell him to fix it....as I know so little
about gpg.
Here is what I think happened in 2007
gpg --gen-key.....(some text deleted to reduce size)
Please select what kind of key you want:
Your selection? 1
Requested keysize is 2048 bits
Key does not expire at all
Is this correct? (y/N) y
You need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user ID
from the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:
"Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) <heinri...@duesseldorf.de>"
Real name: "rkhun...@hushmail.com"
Email address: rkhun...@hushmail.com
Comment:
You selected this USER-ID:
""rkhun...@hushmail.com" <rkhun...@hushmail.com>"
Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? o
You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.
blah blah blah
Sorry for the verbosity....but unSpawn already twigged he did not need to
enter a real name...but maybe the quotes does look a little unusual?
end of my thread.
thankyou all for helping.
cheerio
