Following the instructions to make a nym for the *nym.alias.net* nymserver, or any other of the new nym servers, I get the following error: ****************** We need to generate 792 random bits. This is done by measuring the time intervals between your keystrokes. Please enter some random text on your keyboard until you hear the beep: 0 * -Enough, thank you. ....**** .......**** Key generation completed. Key for user ID: ****** <*****@nym.alias.net> 1024-bit key, Key ID 70963B91, created 1997/04/22 WARNING: Because this public key is not certified with a trusted signature, it is not known with high confidence that this public key actually belongs to: "<config@nym.alias.net>/<send@nym.alias.net>". Error: key is too large. RSA keys may be no longer than 1024 bits, due to limitations imposed by software provided by RSADSI. Skipping userid config@nym.alias.net Encryption error For a usage summary, type: pgp -h For more detailed help, consult the PGP User's Guide. Could not use your keys. The passphrase must be blank. *********************************************** I am, of course, leaving a blank passphrase. I've selected 1024 bit key encryption, but it doesn't seem to matter what I choose. The error persists. My version is premail - 0.45
