I just checked the PGP signature and it verified the tar.gz file. So, that explains why it gunzipped it successfully. But, tar fails. And, that is my problem. I used the KEYS given in the ftp site of CMU-SASL ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail The verification process using gpg was this: ******************************* bash-2.05# gpg --verify cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.tar.gz.sig cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.tar.gz gpg: Signature made Fri May 19 20:21:27 2006 IST using DSA key ID 6581B5F1 gpg: Good signature from "Kenneth S Murchison <murch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" gpg: checking the trustdb gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. Primary key fingerprint: 11C3 B2A6 BF9C F06C 216F 76E7 D0AB 95C1 6581 B5F1 ******************************* Thanks Biswatosh --- Biswatosh <biswatosh2001@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > I tried this and it could check out.
