import key to spefic keyring

Fri Jun 20 17:10:03 2003

Thanks so much!  Just to clarify for the list archives, the option is
specifically

--homedir /home/username
(no - between home and dir)

I had to use this option for on all commands related to user apache,
including the encrypt command specified in my PHP script (even though PHP is
running under apache, and usre apache already).

There are so many arguments, options and commands involved with gpg, and
they all sound so similar that I was getting confused reading them all!

This should work, but I am not sure how the permissions are set for user
apache.

same thing, as long as you use the --home-dir option, you should be
working on the keyring for that user.  AFAIK.
