I installed PGP out of the ports collection. I then created a keypair on my windows box, and exported the public key and stuck it on the FreeBSD box. My supervisor refuses to allow me to have ANY private keys whatsoever on the FreeBSD box. The problem is, the only key that is on FreeBSD is the public key from my windows box. When I go to encrypt a file, I get: -------------------------------------------------------------- Key for user ID: TLC Loan Applications <loans@tlcfcu.org> 1024-bit DSS key, Key ID 0xDD81786C, created 2001/03/09 WARNING: Because this public key is not certified with a trusted signature, it is not known with high confidence that this public key actually belongs to: "TLC Loan Applications <loans@tlcfcu.org>". Are you sure you want to use this public key (y/N)?y ------------------------------------------------------------- The problem with this is that it asks for user input. Since I am doing the PGP and then sending it through email via a CGI script, I can't have the CGI script put in that user input. To get around it, I need to create a signing key on the FreeBSD box and sign the public key so that it won't ask, it just trusts it. But, my supervisor says that he won't allow me to do that, that I have to find another way. I would be very appreciative if somebody would help me out here, wether it be a way to have the CGI do a "Y(return)" to get past the user input prompt, or a way where it trusts the key without having a signing key sitting on the FreeBSD box.
