Hi,

I guess that your problem is NOT idea, but inline gpg signed msgs (like this
one) versus PGP/MIME signed messages.

There is currently no official gpg-agent and pinentry Debian packages, so
you'll need to either get some unofficial ones (did anybody do any lately?
I think Ralf Nolden's packages are not online anymore), or compile the
software yourself as per [1] (last I tried, I had to disable threading on
some components. But it's been a while, and new releases of most parts are
out, so I don't know what the current status is).

 No. PGP/MIME is multipart/signed on the top level, whatever the mime type of
 the message is in the first MIME part, and application/pgp-signature in the
 second MIME part.

 application/pgp is a never standardized text/plain variant of an inline
 signed message, with the main problem that some Mailers do not render it
 correctly (since they assume that unknown application/... is binary, not
 text).

Martin Schulze does not use application/pgp anymore. I found it only in
older DSAs sent by him.

I now understand why the text/plain format is used. For something as
important as DSAs, I would use that myself.

Thanks for your explanations, people!

The fact that he is reporting that kmail specifically doesn't like an
attached .asc does not suggest that the problem is with inline
signatures. IMHO, inline signatures should not be used ever as they are
liable to corruption unless the entire message + signature is encoded in
quoted-printable before sending.

Not really. Your messages doesn't produce that No appropriate crypto

tiger: howto eliminate spurious cron errors?

2004-01-07 Thread Michael D Schleif
In the spirit of my current endeavor to eliminate noise from tiger, I
find myself receiving the following stderr reports from tiger via cron:

   stdin: is not a tty

   /usr/bin/find: /usr/X11R6/bin/: No such file or directory

   /bin/sed: can't read /etc/printcap: No such file or directory

   /bin/ls: /boot/boot.b: No such file or directory

Unfortunately, tiger.ignore cannot help me to eliminate this noise.
That first one is especially annoying, since I receive it several times
per day on several servers.

What do you think?

Correct, these are generated via stderr instead of a tiger generate

OK.  First, I did not know whether or not these qualify as bugs.  In
that uncertain phase, I usually ping a user group for opinions on the

several months, and tiger-user has not had any posts since August 2003,
