>1) Tried exporting the private and the public key from pgp
using the commands:
pgp -kx " " pubkey.pgp
pgp -kx " " sec.pgp ~/.pgp/secring.skr
pgp commandline makes it extremely difficult to extract a secret
key.
the -kx commands extract only public keys,
(there was a workaround that Disastry showed me once many years
ago, but i forgot it :-(( since it has been easier to just use the
following gnupg command) :
gpg --import secring.skr
and gnupg will import both the public and secret keys
(n.b. if anyone knows the proper pgp commandline syntax to extract
a pgp secret key from the keyring, please post)
Thanks,
