Re: Gnupg-users Digest, Vol 106, Issue 5

Good day Hauke,
I am new to the list and have finally found the time to take a good
look at the digests. As I look at Digest, Vol 106, Issue 5 I note the
varied issues with SHA 1. I would like the advantage of the SHA 256,
however I was not able to find the conf file. All I found was the
gnupconf.exe file with no practical way to view it. For now I will
assume I've erred and just ask, where do I find the appropriate file?
Sorry if it's a dumb question but I'm new both to this list and
cryptography, so your assistance would be of help. If it's too noob a
question just say so and I'll not bother you folks again. Thanks in advance.
Dr. C.

On Windows Vista and above, look in:

C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\GnuPG

On Windows XP, look in:

C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Data\GnuPG

It's not a dumb question at all, and we're happy to help. :)

RE: Gnupg-users Digest, Vol 106, Issue 5 [In reply to]

On Ubuntu, config file found at: ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

On WinXP, config file found at: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\gnupg\gpg.conf

On Win7, config found at: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\gnupg\

If you do not find the file at the specified location, you can just create it. For example, say you navigate to ~/.gnupg/ folder in Ubuntu but there is no gpg.conf file. Just open gedit (or notepad on Windows) and save the empty document as "gpg.conf" (on windows make sure to change the setting to show file extensions). Then add your configurations to this file as needed,.

gpgconf --list-dirs

shows all configured directories. You want to look at the line starting
with homedir. The value after the colon is the directory you are looking
for. If you notice a '%' in that value, it is an escape sequence
similar to what is used with URL. Examples:

"C%3A/foo/bar" translates to "C:/foo/bar"
"C%3A\my%25dir" translates to "C:\my%dir"

You may need to enter the '\' instead of the '/' in some Windows tools.

Salam-Shalom,

Werner
