I want to use my gpg key in my new computer. Do I just run "gpg --export secretkey.gpg"? If I export, that's not going to remove it from my current ring is it?

<quote> How do your keys exceed the life of your software and systems (hardware)? It is possible to backup the directory $HOME/.gnupg as all gpg related information is stored there. Or export your build key with the following command: (gpg --export-secret-key KEY; gpg --export KEY) > FILE. As can be derived from the command this will export your public and secret key. The keys can than later on be imported with the gpg --import FILE command on the new software release or system. </quote>

You'll then have all keys on both boxes w/a minimum of fuss. :-) -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio "If music be the food of love, why can't rabbits sing?"
