gpg: fatal: can't open /dev/urandom on AIX 5.2

[Mamta Mehra]

Its open to world in other word yes it has the correct permission. We also
try to create the keys using root userID but still getting same error.


Thanks

Are you sure that you did not miss the end of the line?  It should
show the actual error message.

You should also update to the latest gpg version which is 1.2.6; there
are some fixes for AIX in it.

Are the permissions of /dev/urandom correct?
