Subject: javakey error message

Hi all:

I just downloaded JDK 1.1.1. Until now, I have not touched Security so
try to bear with my ignorance...

While experimenting with javakey I typed in:

javakey -c duke

which incidentally, created a complaint about the database or a related
class not being implemented. Unfortunately I didn't write down the
message.

after that javakey produces the following message:

javakey -l ...or any other option combination
"could not initialize scope"

Prior to typing in "javakey -c duke" I was getting what I considered
normal
response, at least nothing that lead me to believe I had done something
destructive. For instance, "javakey" previously produced a list of
options and now the "scope" message and
"javakey -l " produced a message indicating "sun. ...security
something".

I have obviously done something to provoke the "could not initialize
scope" message but I have no idea what and I have not seen anything in
the documentation to indicated a possible cause or cure.

This is a NT 4.0 machine, running jdk 1.1.1 with the path set correctly
and no classpath set. Does anyone have a answer to this problem? I
have reloaded jdk 1.1.1 after the problem started.

I need to start over at square one. This time I swear I'll read the
directions.

Thanks,

Bob
