That the beauty of Linux usually more than one way to do something Since I keep my keyrings on a usb drive, I use the command ln -s /path/to/keyrings .gnupg cavent that there's no current .gnupg dir. You could rename current .gnupg to .gnupg-old then anytime you wanted to point to it ln -sf .gnupg-old .gnupg this makes a symbiloc link between the two directories and gpg will see all /path/to/keyrings as .gnupg - -- 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 ======================================= Zoe: "You sanguine about the kind of reception we're apt to receive on an Alliance ship, Cap'n?"
