Thanks!

I sent the mail too quickly. I figured that out soon after posting
the message, this seems to do the job:

encrypt:
gpg --armor --yes --homedir /etc/gnupg/ --recipient blahblah \
--output secret.txt --encrypt test.txt

decrypt:
echo 'PASS_PHRASE'|gpg --armor --yes --homedir /etc/gnupg \
--recipient blahblah --passphrase-fd 0 --output secret2.txt \
--decrypt secret.txt


Is there anyway to directly output the (en|de)crypted text
to stdout (fd=3D1)?

Thanks.

Enjoy your day!
