Hello,
I've just gotten pgp5 from ports.
I ran pgp5 -h to see if there would be any pointers as to how to
configure it, but got the following instead:
$ pgp5 -h
Creating /home/<user>/.pgp...complete.
No randseed file found.
Cannot open configuration file /home/<user>/.pgp/pgp.cfg
PGP is now invoked from different executables for different operations:
pgpe Encrypt (including Encrypt/Sign)
pgps Sign
pgpv Verify/Decrypt
pgpk Key management
pgpo PGP 2.6.2 command-line simulator (not yet implemented)
See each application's respective man page or the general PGP
documentation
for more information.
$
I then ran it again and then got:
$ pgp5 -h
Cannot open configuration file /home/<user>/.pgp/pgp.cfg
PGP is now invoked from different executables for different operations:
pgpe Encrypt (including Encrypt/Sign)
pgps Sign
pgpv Verify/Decrypt
pgpk Key management
pgpo PGP 2.6.2 command-line simulator (not yet implemented)
See each application's respective man page or the general PGP
documentation
for more information.
$
Where's the pgp.cfg gone? And given note above about not yet
implementing the simulator, what should I make of this?
Is there a problem here? I know that I'll need to generate my
private/public keys, but I'm weary about proceeding with what looks like
a less than happy pgp installation.
uname info:

Any help for a weary user would be appreciated.
Stacey
