Is it possible to keep the secret keyring in a different location than =
the public one? I'd like to keep my secret ring on some read only media =
(ie CD-R) and only be able to encrypt messages when the CD is in the =
drive. Is there a way to configure GnuPG to do that. It seems to want a =
place to find all keyrings. I'd like to keep the public keyring on my =
hard drive so when I meet people I can quickly add their public key =
without needing a burner or what-not.

I use a computer that is owned by my employer and I don't want to keep =
my secret keyring on it for obvious reasons. I also use GPG on my =
personal computer. What is recommended in these situations?

Thanks,
Clint
