Hi,
using an SCR335 card reader with gnupg 1.4.3 under debian-sarge AMD64 i
can do
gpg --card-edit
> generate
> list
which generates new keys on the smartcard fine and puts them also into
file secring.gpg. But then trying to move the secret key to the
smartcard by
gpg --edit-key
Befehl> toggle
Befehl> keytocard
does _not_ work: The newly generated secret key persists in secring.gpg.
E. g. i can do --export-secret-key without smartcard. Gpg tells:
Really move the primary key? (y/N) y
...
Wählen Sie den Speicherort für den Schlüssel:
(1) Unterschriften-Schlüssel
(3) Authentisierungs-Schlüssel
Ihre Auswahl? 1
gpg: WARNING: such a key has already been stored on the card!
Vorhandenen Schlüssel ersetzen? (j/N) j
gpg: geheimer Schlüssel ist bereits auf einer Karte gespeichert
When i delete the secret key manually from secring.gpg, the secret key
on the card won't be found, probably as the "stub" is missing in
secring.gpg.
So the question is: How can i get the secret key away from the
secring.gpg and still have the stub so that the secret key is requested
then from the smartcard?
Thanks a lot for any hints.
Regards, Hartmut
