[mv] PGP 6.5.1 Linux, MV 4

[Hugh Williams <williams@friend.ly.net>]

Hello. When I submit the order using PGP encryption, the system hangs.

catalog.cfg contains

Variable  ENCRYPTOR    /usr/bin/pgp -feat
mcwphoto@friend.ly.net 2>/dev/null 

I have successfully executed cat testfile | /usr/bin/pgp -feat
mcwphoto@friend.ly.net from the command line having to answer yes to the
question to use a public key for an "unsigned" user.

The Minivend FAQ states

"
If the key you are sending to has not been signed by another (trusted)
user, then you will get error returns from some flavors of PGP, which
causes the problem. The fix is to route the error output to /dev/null (at
least on UNIX) by changing the EncryptProgram directive in catalog.cfg:
    EncryptProgram  /usr/local/bin/pgp -feat
sales@your.com 2>/dev/null
"

The processes that are spawned by "submit order" are

mvend 3314 ... sh -c /usr/bin/pgp -feat mcwphoto@friend.ly.net
2>/dev/null >z22JgZDx.cry
mvend 3315 ... /usr/bin/pgp -feat mcwphoto@friend.ly.net

When I route errors using 2>/tmp/pgperror I see that the system
appears to be hung waiting for a positive reply to use an
"unsigned" public key.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Any guidance very much appreciated.

Hugh
