Hello, I have just bought a gnupg smartcard, copied my subkeys to it, and it works. I have been using a key on several computers. Now I want the other systems to use the smartcard, too, so that I can delete the private keys there. The content of the smartcard is shown by --card-status and I could even use the authentication key for an SSH connection.
For SSH connections gpg-agent looks at tha smartcard by default but it does not for normal key lookup. I just get an error message (something like "no private key found") if I delete the private keys. Is there an "official" way to tell gpg to use the smartcard? Anything except copying the keys to the card again (executing keytocard on all systems)? I had the idea that exporting the secret keys on the system which initialized the smartcard might work. But for convenience I decided not to use the smartcard at home so I imported the secret keys there... BTW: Does it make sense that the smartcard number is stored with the secret key stub after the keytocard command? I haven't tried but I guess that copying the same key to another card wouldn't work.
