Alexander may have been complaining about the top-posting, or maybe the |
| 36 |
OP was not completely clear in the question, or maybe Ralph |
| 37 |
misunderstood the difference between a /key pair/ and a /signature/: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
gpg --help |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Syntax: gpg [options] [files] |
| 42 |
sign, check, encrypt or decrypt |
| 43 |
default operation depends on the input data |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Commands: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
==> -s, --sign [file] make a signature |
| 48 |
--clearsign [file] make a clear text signature |
| 49 |
-b, --detach-sign make a detached signature |
| 50 |
-e, --encrypt encrypt data |
| 51 |
-c, --symmetric encryption only with symmetric cipher |
| 52 |
-d, --decrypt decrypt data (default) |
| 53 |
--verify verify a signature |
| 54 |
--list-keys list keys |
| 55 |
--list-sigs list keys and signatures |
| 56 |
--check-sigs list and check key signatures |
| 57 |
--fingerprint list keys and fingerprints |
| 58 |
-K, --list-secret-keys list secret keys |
| 59 |
==> --gen-key generate a new key pair |
| 60 |
--delete-keys remove keys from the public keyring |
| 61 |
--delete-secret-keys remove keys from the secret keyring |
| 62 |
--sign-key sign a key |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
So if the question really does relate to creating a signature, Ralph was |
| 65 |
wrong. If the question was wrong, and a key pair needs to be generated |
| 66 |
in order to sign something, then Ralph was right. |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
However, other than pointing this out by the simple expedient of |
| 69 |
confusing everyone further, Alexander's reply was less than helpful, |
| 70 |
since it neither pointed out why the answer given was presumably not |
| 71 |
correct, or provided a correct answer if the answer given was in fact |
| 72 |
not correct. |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
Awaiting more data in order to answer /your/ question, Jason (can not |
| 75 |
compute)..... |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
.... but everybody could just read the man page and work it out for |
| 78 |
themselves, of course :) . |
