    I recieved a public key from a bank , put it on my 10.1 keyring,

    when I encrypt I initially get a 3064  error , and then get encrypted output:

    /ssh/spaymlln] # /opt/pgp/bin/pgp --encrypt ucla.ap1.acheft01.dat --recipient UCLA --armor
    0x167B327E:encrypt (3064:key invalid)
    ucla.ap1.acheft01.dat:encrypt (0:output file ucla.ap1.acheft01.dat.asc)
     

    Is this correct output? Why am I getting the 3064?  How do I correct it ?

    As indicated in this old forum thread, you need to sign the key to make it Valid.

    Does it matter with what key I sign it with /

    You should sign the key with one of your own implicitly trusted private keys, once you have verified that the key you have actually belongs to that recipient.

    See the section on '"Invalid" Keys' in the Frequently Asked Questions chapter of the PGP Command Line User's Guide.
