Hi All, |
| 2 |
|

I think I am getting a bit mixed up with gpg and how it is used in |
| 4 |
Gentoo. So, I am asking (sorry if some of this is repetitive) some |
| 5 |
Q's in no particular order in the hope of clearing things out in my |
| 6 |
head: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
1. What is the relationship between gpg-agent and ssh-agent? Do I need both? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
2. How can I get the gpg-agent to start if I do not use KDM, but XDM |
| 11 |
with fluxbox? (I added eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" in my ~/.xsession |
| 12 |
with no effect). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
3. Some mail clients do not handle gpg signing very elegantly (as in |
| 15 |
automatically). Neverhteless, the signature is presented as an |
| 16 |
attachment. How can the recipient check the validity of the |
| 17 |
signature? It would be useful to find this answer not just for Linux, |
| 18 |
but also for M$Outlook. |
| 19 |

4. I created two uids one for me@×××××.com and one for |
| 21 |
me@another_domain.com. I thought that I would be able to switch |
| 22 |
between uids depending on the domain that I use in Kmail. Things got |
| 23 |
rather messed up thereafter. When I try to select a Signing key id |
| 24 |
(Group properties on say a newsgroup/Identity/Signing key/Change) I |
| 25 |
always get the me@another_domain.com as the uid, instead of the |
| 26 |
me@×××××.com as a signature. How can I switch between uids? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
5. When I revoke a uid is it also removed from the keyservers? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
6. Is there a way of finding out what is kept with respect to my |
| 31 |
sigs/uids on a keyserver? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I think that's enough for now. Thanks for any answers. |
