RE: [PHP] PHP & PGP

It is possible, but I have not found any good tutorials on the subject. There is one on Web Monkey at this address: http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/programming/php/tutorials/tutorial1.html All the commands were wrong for the PGP version (6.5) that was loaded on my web server. I found that the following worked: 1. Make sure you know where PGP is located on the server. Try a whereis pgp. On my system it was installed in /usr/bin. 2. Make sure the nobody (or the user the web server runs as) user has a home directory defined in your passwd file. This will cause problems when you setup the key ring. (do not define a shell for this user!) 3. Copy an ASCII version of your public key into a file that the nobody user can access. 4. su into the nobody account 5. Create a signing key for the nobody user this this command: pgp -kg There is no need to create an encryption key. 6. Add your public key to nobody's keying with this command: pgp -ka /path/to/your/public/key 7. Assign an trust level to the key: pgp -ke 'Usuerid' If you don't know the userid for the key use pgp -kvv to find out 8. Sign the key with: pgp -ks 'your user id' -u 'their userid' Then the form and php script in the Web monkey tutorial should work. Let me know if this helps and good luck.
