A has files which I don't care who sees; all files in B are in encrypted folders which anybody who cracks the A directories and files does not know the existence (I hope) of user B. > Just thinking loud... couldn't you just export/import the key on the > desired computer? Most of the DE have utilities to manage that (Keoplatra > in KDE and Seahorse in GNOME) :-? In fact I was able to solve the problem myself. After I sent my original post, I googled further and found out how to save the secret key and then to import and add to the secret keyring of both users A and B. Then by assigning to the secret key in both users with the "ultimate" trust level -- after all I created them -- I was able to use them to decrypt files as user B in computer Q files encrypted by user A on computer P. After all the imports were finished I shredded the .asc file containing the private key. The URL returned by Google which pointed me in the right direction was http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys#Creating_GPG_Keys_Using_the_KDE_Desktop. Thanks anyway for your response.
