I'm beginning to wonder whether I'm missing a package here, as no matter what I do I get the message that gpg-agent is not running and I should remove reference to it in the config or fix it. Here's what I seem to have: Installed Packages libgpg-error.i386 1.4-2 installed Available Packages gpgme.i386 1.0.3-1.el5.rf rpmforge gpgme-devel.i386 1.0.3-1.el5.rf rpmforge gpgme03.i386 0.3.16-1.el5.rf rpmforge gpgme03-devel.i386 0.3.16-1.el5.rf rpmforge libgpg-error-devel.i386 1.4-2 base perl-Crypt-GPG.noarch 1.63-1.el5.rf rpmforge perl-Mail-GPG.noarch 1.0.6-1.el5.rf rpmforge Now I realise that /usr/bin/gpg-agent does not exist. There are just gpg gpg-error gpgsplit gpgv gpg-zip kgpg Package gnupg - 1.4.5-13.i386 is already installed. Package pinentry - 0.7.2-1.el5.rf.i386 is already installed. What am I missing? Anne
