    hi

    I have been trying to build rpm signed with my own key. but it keeps on giving me the error wrong pass phrase though i have typed the passphrase correctly

    first i created the

    gpg --gen-key

    gpg --list-keys <-- displays the key i have created

    created /home/mohan/.rpmmacros

    %_signature gpg
    %_gpg_path /home/mohan/.gnugp
    %_gpg_name 9E9CC9A5
    %_gpgbin /usr/bin/gpg

    exported the pubkey.asc

    rpm --import pubkey.asc

    rpmbuild --sign -ta nagios-plugin.tar.gz

    it asks for pass phrase

    eventhough i give the right passphrase its failing.

    any comments would be welcome.

    Have you tried building the rpm first then sign it ?

    Code:
    rpm --addsign nagios-plugin.rpm

    I did try

    rpmbuild --sign -ta *.tar.gz

    rpm --addsign *.rpm

    rpm --resign *.rpm

    I dont have a clue whats happening. but the rpm build process working fine, i did add an option of --target=i686 it works perfectly its just the rpm signing process

    i have gnupg installed and i use fedora core 8.

    Also the passphrase works fine when i edit the key

    gpg --edit-key KEYID

    i was able to set a different passphrase and save it. Its the same case with two accounts (root and mohan)
