My supervisor does not want any private keys on the web server (which is my FreeBSD box). However, I did put the public key of the person I am encrypting information for on the server so that PGPi can encrypt messages for them, and them alone. I do know it is possible to encrypt with just a public key and no private key. However, when I don't have a private key on the server, I keep getting this prompt for user input to answer "Y" if I trust the public key. This won't work in a CGI. Is there a way where it will just default to "Y" and not ask me, or do I absolutely have to have that private key on there to sign the public key? Thanks for your help.
