Thus spake Corey Halpin (crhalpin@students.wisc.edu): > Does anybody know how gpg selects which of the keyring files you > specify to it to attempt to write to? This from the man page: --keyring file Add file to the list of keyrings. If file begins with a tilde and a slash, these are replaced by the HOME directory. If the filename does not contain a slash, it is assumed to be in the home-directory ("~/.gnupg" if --homedir is not used). The filename may be prefixed with a scheme: "gnupg-ring:" is the default one. "gnupg-gdbm:" may be used for a GDBM ring. Note that GDBM is experimental and likely to be removed in future versions. It might make sense to use it together with --no-default-keyring. I think you may want to try the "gnupg-ring:" prefix. I'm going to do so now, as I did not know that the debian keyring was available on my system :-) -- Justin R. Miller <incanus@codesorcery.net> PGP/GnuPG Key ID 0xC9C40C31 (preferred)
