The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

open gpg encrypted files are one byte too big

Asked by kkatula in Miscellaneous Security, Encryption for Network Security

Tags: , ,

I am using open gpg to encrypt a file every day.  It is scripted and this is the command I am using:
/usr/local/bin/gpg -v --always-trust --allow-non-selfsigned-uid -e -r "<some company>" ILfile1.txt
Every day, the file has one byte too many.  Then I manually run the command and after about 3 times, the extra byte gets removed and the file can be unencrypted.  An example of the output is below:

/usr/local/bin/gpg -v --always-trust --allow-non-selfsigned-uid -e -r "<some company>" ILfile1.txt
gpg: using secondary key xxxxxxx instead of primary key xxxxxxx
gpg: No trust check due to --always-trust option
gpg: reading from `ILfile1.txt'
gpg: writing to `ILfile1.txt.gpg'
gpg: ELG-E/CAST5 encrypted for: "<some company"

 ls -la
total 51800
-rw-rw-r--   1 root     other    3140484 Jul 25 10:26 ILfile1.txt.gpg
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    3140484 Jul 25 06:40 ILfile1.txt.jen

 rm ILfile1.txt.gpg

 /usr/local/bin/gpg -v --always-trust --allow-non-selfsigned-uid -e -r "<some company>" ILfile1.txt
gpg: using secondary key xxxxxx instead of primary key xxxxxx
gpg: No trust check due to --always-trust option
gpg: reading from `ILfile1.txt'
gpg: writing to `ILfile1.txt.gpg'
gpg: ELG-E/CAST5 encrypted for: "<some company>"

ls -la
total 51800
-rw-rw-r--   1 root     other    3140483 Jul 25 10:27 ILfile1.txt.gpg
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    3140484 Jul 25 06:40 ILfile1.txt.jen
