followup to 3 gpg questions

Mon Sep 7 09:33:24 CEST 1998

I made a little script log of some of the things I mentioned in my last
post.  You can see that it does not trust my friends key even though I
have signed it and he has signed my key (along with the rest of the people
that signed his key).  You can also see that when I encrypt a message to
him, it first tries 3des, then reverts back to blowfish (not cast5).  Is
there any utility better then 'script' for what I'm trying to do here?
script seems to add some extraneous characters.  Attached is the log.

Could not find a valid trust path to the key.  Let's see whether we

can assign some missing owner trust values.

No owner trust values changed.

It is NOT certain that the key belongs to its owner.

If you *really* know what you are doing, you may answer

the next question with yes

Use this key anyway? yes
