Does anyone know if there's a preferred method for setting up the same
gpg profile (keys) on multiple machines?
I'm surprised I haven't been able to find much on the web about this.
Surely there must be thousands of us sending/receiving email both at
home and at work, and probably for some folks umpteen other places as well.
man gpg mentions --export-secret-keys [name]
you could probably just
gpg -o [file] --export-secret-keys [name] on one machine and then
gpg --import [file] on the other machine...
I haven't tried it...
Beware of setting default users though, especially with an MUA that keeps the
passphrase in memory for a while.
Which is why it is better to use gpg-agent and make your MUA talk to it
instead of asking for your passphrase directly. Personally, I like
using keychain in conjunction with ssh-agent and gpg-agent.
