better ways gpg import (paste public key not working)

[tolgaulas]

I had trouble in importing the admin public key per the documentation, briefly pasting it into the terminal when requesting does not advance the script. So I took another approach:

• Created the "adminkey.txt" and pasted the admin gpg public key into it.
• Modified the /opt/bastion/bin/admin/setup-gpg.sh so that it accepts a second argument, the name of the file having the key.
• Modified the lines

  $gpgcmd --import "$1"
  

  and

  do_import "$2"; exit $?
  

so that the gpg --import is processed.

And only then the script worked.

You need to type ^D (CTRL+D) when done pasting, to that gpg knows you've done entering the key. This is also how it works for the bare gpg --import, but you're right, if you don't know this, it might not be easy to guess. Adding a comment to clarify that in the script.
