[plug] NoCatAuth and gpg errors

[Steve Boak]

Hi boffins and whiz-kids :-)

Anyone have experience setting up a NoCat wireless gateway? I have built a 
FLASH-based gateway on Voyage linux (a descendant of Pebble) package, which 
appears to be working well. Authentication is provided by NoCatAuth running 
on my server, which is where I have a problem with gpg. 

Wireless acquisition works well, and the logon page is served up from the 
Authentication server (using apache-ssl), but the process falls apart when 
negotiation starts to verify my username and password. It appears that gpg 
(on the Authentication server) can't encrypt the messages back to the 
gateway.

The error in apache-ssl/error.log is:

[2005-07-12 01:01:19] User steve from 192.168.1.13 requests form
[2005-07-12 01:01:19] gpg --sign --armor 
--homedir=/usr/local/nocat/cgi-bin/../pgp --keyring trustedkeys.gpg --no-tty 
-o- returned error message:
gpg: Sorry, no terminal at all requested - can't get input

I have googled (and other searches) until I am blue in the face over this, and 
the only hint I can find is that it may be something to do with using a 
passphrase in my gpg key, which as far as I know I did not do. I have checked 
this by recreating my keys with and without a passphrase, unless I haven't 
done this right.

The code is written in perl so I can add some diagnostics to find out what is 
going on, but I am not sure what to look for.

Version info:
Kernel 2.6.12.2, custom build
apache-ssl 1.3.33
gpg 1.4.1

Any clues for me to follow up?
