I experienced the same thing the first time I ran pgp 23 on my stone generic 286 fossil. In fact, I was shocked when, a few weeks later, it asked for keystrokes when doing -kg. Anyone have any ideas about this??? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan Mason | Any time you find a simple answer to a question, vznquest@netcom.com | The odds are you asked the wrong question. ******************* | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Wed, 13 Oct 1993, Victor A.

Hello!
Today I saw paraphysics randomizer in pgp: pgp -kg was run; it ask me about user id and passphrase; then it run generation (it wrote like this: ............ ++++);
But, as we see, it did not ask about key typing!!! The most intresting pgp generate key pair and rendseed.bin-file. I thinck this is related to new topsecret paraphysics randomyser (today is 13.10.93).:) Some words about technical ditails: Hardwate - i486; Software - MS-DOS 3v30 (I boot from protected floppy and ran good antivitus utility before keypair generation). PGP 2v3a was run. I have expiriance in pgp (i maintain pgp-keys server).
I keep keypair and randseed file and try to repiad this fantastic result, but paraphysic energy is go out :).
Mr. Zimmermann, I hope, that this was really paraphysic (or my mistake:(), because the trust to crypt-program is very unstable thing.
