secondary name or id
Hi,

So how do we create a secondary name or id on our GPG key? For example
with PGP 2.6.2, I had a key like:

pub 1024/E26EC5FD 1997/01/14 Dale A. Harris <rodmur@ecst.csuchico.edu>
Key fingerprint = E0 82 E6 09 3B E5 07 E9 01 8F A8 17 F1 B8 53 4F
SCA Webmaster <webmaster@sca.org>
SCA Webmaster <rodmur@innercite.com>
Dale Harris <rodmur@sampoerna.cisnet.net>

Several different id's. Is it possible to do that in GnuPG?

Yes of course.

For this you must use the gpg command "--edit-key"
Then you can use the option "adduid" to add a new user id
and save this changes with the "save" option.
