Hallo,
I am new here, so my question may be silly.
I have a problem with exporting and importing public keys.
User A exported his key using the command:
gpg --export A > a-key.pub
User B imported his key using the command:
gpg --import a-key.pub
Then B did run
gpg --edit-key A
and set
trust: full
It showed this message:
pub 1024D/6C8E3EDD created: 1999-06-29 expires: never trust: f/q
sub 1024g/C8AD5FCB created: 1999-06-29 expires: never
(1) A
Then A exited the program and wanted to encrypt a file "trial.txt":
gpg -e -r A trial.txt
And he got this message:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Could not find a valid trust path to the key. Let's see whether we
can assign some missing owner trust values.
No path leading to one of our keys found.
1024g/C8AD5FCB 1999-06-29 "A"
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?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
He tried again:
gpg -e -r --yes A trial.txt
But he he is getting still the same.
He needs to run the command non-interactively.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
