Hello ! I would like to use rsyncrypto to encrypt my files, but I don't know how to use it. I use rsyncrypto 0.13 which is the version used by Ubuntu Breezy (My OS). My files are in a folder named : /home/nousdeux/Sebastien/ My destination files must be in the following : /home/nousdeux/Encrypted/ I have got a key generated by GnuPG in the following folder : /home/nousdeux/.gnupg/ And the files are: Public key: /pubring/ and Private key: /secring /So I use the following command: /rsyncrypto -r /home/nousdeux/Sebastien/ /home/nousdeux/Encrypted/ /home/nousdeux/.gnupg /home/nousdeux/.gnupg/secring.gpg/ And I receive the following message: Erreur de segmentation I have tried to change some of the options but it is always the same message. Can you help me please ? Thank you. Sebastien Papaya |

You should use openssl to generate the key for you. Read the openssl man for full details, but here is a command to get you started: openssl req -newkey rsa:1536 -keyout cert.key -nodes -x509 -out cert.crt This will generate a 1536 bit RSA key and certificate based on it (the certificate credentials are unimportant to rsyncrypto). It will create two files. cert.key will be the RSA private key. cert.crt will be the self signed X509 certificate containing the public key.

In any case, it is a confusing feature, as the files may have any extension possible already. > But it's just a remark, not a need. Thanks again ! > > Seb.
