Hi All, I think I am getting a bit mixed up with gpg and how it is used in Gentoo. So, I am asking (sorry if some of this is repetitive) some Q's in no particular order in the hope of clearing things out in my head:
1. What is the relationship between gpg-agent and ssh-agent? Do I need both? 2. How can I get the gpg-agent to start if I do not use KDM, but XDM with fluxbox? (I added eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" in my ~/.xsession with no effect). 3. Some mail clients do not handle gpg signing very elegantly (as in automatically). Neverhteless, the signature is presented as an attachment. How can the recipient check the validity of the signature? It would be useful to find this answer not just for Linux, but also for M$Outlook. 4. I created two uids one for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and one for [EMAIL PROTECTED] I thought that I would be able to switch between uids depending on the domain that I use in Kmail. Things got rather messed up thereafter. When I try to select a Signing key id (Group properties on say a newsgroup/Identity/Signing key/Change) I always get the [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the uid, instead of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a signature. How can I switch between uids? 5. When I revoke a uid is it also removed from the keyservers? 6. Is there a way of finding out what is kept with respect to my sigs/uids on a keyserver? I think that's enough for now. Thanks for any answers. -- Regards, Mick -- [email protected] mailing list
