Guess what the consequences would be > if everyone (i.e. those without the private key) could revoke a key... well i managed to create a pub key without a priv key. that is, it only has a pub part. thats what gpa key manager is telling me. so i thought i would remove it and recreate a new key pair for that email addr. if you or someone can tell me how i can create a priv key for that email address that i created with only a pub key? i don't know how i did that with the gpa key manager. hope that clarifies it a bit -- Bill Key fingerprint = DB4D 251B FE8A BDCD 2BE4 E889 13F1 78D0 A386 B32B _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
