COOL. Thanks. I believe I can handle that! :-) I'll dig into the docs and figure out how to add additional user id's to my key that I already have set up. > Well, you could copy the files from ~/.gnupg/ on you laptop to your home > desktop ( making sure you clear out the ~/.gnupg/ first or do it before > ever running it on your desktop).

Woohoo! I didn't do anything with gpg on my desktop yet, assuming it might be good to find out a little more before doing so. I just copied the files over form my laptop, and executing gpg --fingerprint [EMAIL PROTECTED] gave the folllowing: pub 1024D/F8AE4C96 2003-06-28 Justin Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Key fingerprint = 3C2F 0F72 9AFD 1B24 06DB F3D1 E063 284C F8AE 4C96 sub 1024g/CD11A5E8 2003-06-28 [expires: 2004-06-27] Looks like I'm getting there anyway. > I was the one that gave the presentation.
