I preserved my /home partition and copied it over from 10.0 to 10.2. That brought over everything including the .gnupg files. I had a few files encrypted in another directory and now I cannot decrypt them. I just used the simple "password" method originally on 10.0, not the pubic and private keys method wanting to keep it simple.
So, I figured that I needed to set up kgpg again, but no matter what I tried I could not decrypt my files. I read the kgpg handbook over and over and I even downloaded the howto from gnugpg. No good. Maybe some fresh thoughts on what I am missing would help? Bob S. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
