RE: No secret key under different account
Hi, Thanks for the info detailed response. I'm going to go with option C as you suggest. Must admit I hadn't realised that .MAN pages are the docs.

RE: No secret key under different account
What are peoples thoughts on which is the best option: a) copy the secring.gpg pubring.gpg files to the second user account? b) export and import the keys to the second user account? c) add a reference to the second account's gpg.conf file? Also could anyone please give me an example of the syntax for adding keyring references to gpg.conf?

That does however mean that I will end up with two sets of keyring files, does anyone know a way to share them to certain priv'd users on a server.
