Now let me ask you (or anybody) a question about 14:11 a/k/a Encrypting
Email with GPG.

If you're an ordinary user on a shared server, what is the best strategy
for GPG-encrypting data? I have figured out (stolen) one way to do it, but
it requires wrapping the script with php-cgiwrap and doing something like

$encrypted = shell_exec( "echo 'secret stuff'|/usr/bin/gpg
--no-secmem-warning --homedir /my/.gnupg -ear recipient at example.com");


It doesn't work when run as nobody, I presume because nobody doesn't have
permission to get into my .gnupg directory. Perhaps php-cgiwrap is the
answer... ?

btw thanks to all for the discussion re my last Q.
