Re: [SLE] Moving gpg keys to another machine

I have created gpg keys (public & private) on one machine and want to
have them available (specifically the private) on another machine.
What do I need to do in order to move and import them on another SUSE
box?
Your GPG keys are stored in ~/.gnupg. Simply copy that directory to the 
new machine.
No that will usually overwrite the whole keyring. Better:

1$ gpg -a --export-secret-keys 12345678 >12345678.sec
1$ scp 12345678.sec sndmachine:
2$ gpg --import 12345678.sec;
