    Subject: javakey error

Hello,

I was trying to generate public and private keys for a signer and I've
run into some trouble. Here is the sequence entered at the
command line. I'm on a SPARCstation 4 running Solaris 2.6.

ocotillo% javakey -cs steverex true
Created identity [Signer]steverex[identitydb.obj][trusted]
ocotillo% javakey -gk steverex DSA 1024
IOException trying to save the database.[write error]
ocotillo% javakey
could not initialize scope

It's placing the database(identitydb.obj) in my home directory also. Is
that correct?

Any idea why an IOException occurred and why javakey couldn't find scope
afterwards?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

    Hmmm, just of the top of my head - is your
    umask set that new files created are set to
    read only ?

    It creates the identitydb.obj in your home dir.

    So in your case, after:
    ocotillo% javakey -cs steverex true
    Created identity [Signer]steverex[identitydb.obj][trusted]

    check what the permission is on the database.
