Yes. It is not possible to fist output the signature and then the data if you get the data from stdin and don't want to use temporary files. A while back Remi posted a set of patches to let GnuPG do exactly this - but I don't liked them (because of the extra complexity and the temp files) ;-) It is possible to do this with another tool (Michael, can pgpgpg do that?): 1. create the signed file 2. cut off the signature and move it to the begin 3. encrypt this file -- Werner Koch at guug.de www.gnupg.org keyid 621CC013
