WRT the -p parameter, I believe it may not have spaces. Try putting: 'su
richr -c pgp' into a script and put the script name into the -p option.
However, for me the better fix is to use sudo, although I put my pgp stuff
as the only thing on root's keyring, so you might still have problems with
pgp.
