I am sorry but I didn't get your last message. 1) I tried to import the key again (I deleted all the keyring files first)
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxx\Desktop>gpg --import newkey.asc gpg: keyring `C:/Documents and Settings/xxxxxx/Application Data/gnupg\secring.gpg' created gpg: keyring `C:/Documents and Settings/xxxxxx/Application Data/gnupg\pubring.gpg' created gpg: key FBCFC5F9: secret key imported gpg: key FBCFC5F9: no valid user IDs gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: w/o user IDs: 1 gpg: secret keys read: 1 gpg: secret keys imported: 1 2) And now If I try to see it using gpg --list-secret-key. I can see it. C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxx\Desktop>gpg --list-secret-key gpg: C:/Documents and Settings/gi185002/Application Data/gnupg\trustdb.gpg: trustdb created C:/Documents and Settings/xxxxxx/Application Data/gnupg\secring.gpg --------------------------------------------------------------------- sec 1024R/FBCFC5F9 2008-10-06 uid vijay ssb 1024R/BE7137CF 2008-10-06 3) But if I try to decrypt the file using my private key - C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxx\Desktop>gpg --decrypt file.pgp gpg: key FBCFC5F9: secret key without public key - skipped gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID FBCFC5F9 gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available I know PGP can generate public key automatically if its missing from keyring. Is there any option with GPG. So Is there anything wrong with my key? And How can I use gpgsplit to create public key.? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Werewolf Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 9:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: About UIDs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So does using --edit-key/uid #/primary/save combo just show what uid is displayed when the message is decrypted/verified by a recipient? - -- Werewolf ======================================= http://spandex31095.tripod.com/ Skype: Werewolf6851 ===== Instant Messenger Accounts ====== Yahoo: lover_of_lycra ICQ: 304325894 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: LycraloverWolf ======================================= GPG key 76E6C1BC with following fingerprint D508 2C9D B3A9 2F0E E472 95A8 2D8C B9E6 76E6 C1BC ======================================= Inara: "This is pointless, you know."
