gpg can't create same key on different machine!
problem solved

That's deliberate and it should also be different even if you deleted ~/.gnupg and re-generated your keys on the same box. gpg uses your random number generator during the key generation.
Copying over your .gnupg directory is fine - just make sure the permissions are correct and that you don't let someone else access its data. |
because "name, email, and note" are not the only things used to generate the key pair. gpg would be pointless if i could generate _your_ private key just by knowning your name,email address, and your favorite phrase.

Anyone can tell me the use of not permitting the recreation "by hand" of a keypair and making it instead random by using /dev/random ???? Quote:
but what do you mean by "keep your private key safe"? even if someone stole it he ought to get to know the password to cheat me..right??? |
