If you use "gpg --expert --gen-key", it will offer the selection: (7) RSA (set your own capabilities) This lets you choose a key which can be used for signing and encrypting. Anyway, if there's a question "Why a subkey?", its partner-question would be: "Why not?" cu, Sven _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
