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? Thanks.

Well, you've got a few choices. Network, floppy and USB drive come to mind.

Your GPG keys are stored in ~/.gnupg. Simply copy that directory to the new machine. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts

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; Jan Engelhardt --
