Maybe I'm missing something here... OS: Solaris 2.6 PGP version: 2.6.2 HOST# uname -a SunOS host 5.6 Generic_105181-12 sun4u sparc HOST# cd /some/directory HOST# ls -l filename.txt.pgp^R ls -l filename.tx* -rw------- 1 root other 549 Aug 24 16:18 filename.txt.pgp HOST# pgp -m filename.txt.pgp Pretty Good Privacy(tm) 2.6.2 - Public-key encryption for the masses. (c) 1990-1994 Philip Zimmermann, Phil's Pretty Good Software. 11 Oct 94 Uses the RSAREF(tm) Toolkit, which is copyright RSA Data Security, Inc. Distributed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Export of this software may be restricted by the U.S. government. Current time: 1999/08/30 21:04 GMT File is encrypted. Secret key is required to read it. Key for user ID: root <rootat_private> 1024-bit key, Key ID 32FBD0E8, created 1999/07/08 You need a pass phrase to unlock your RSA secret key. Enter pass phrase: Enter pass phrase: Just a moment....Pass phrase appears good. . Plaintext message follows... ------------------------------ [snip] Other window, same host: HOST# ls -l filename.txt.* -rw------- 1 root other 1092 Aug 30 16:58 filename.txt.$00 -rw------- 1 root other 549 Aug 24 16:18 filename.txt.pgp HOST# file filename.txt.* filename.txt.$00: ascii txt filename.txt.pgp: data As soon as I quit out of the 'pgp -m filename.txt' on the other window, the filename.txt.$00 dissappears. I thought pgp -m meant this: To view the decrypted plaintext output on your screen (like the Unix-style "more" command), without writing it to a file, use the -m (more) option while decrypting: pgp -m ciphertextfile "without writing it to a file" But it does indeed create a temporary file in the current directory that's in plain text. dorqus
