right, that's what it looks like. but why can't i change the expiration date on a subkey? whenever i try to gpg --edit-key 47B34D0B to change the expiration date, the date is changed to key 90414D8C. i've read thru the man pages.... it may be my error, but shouldn't i be able to change the expire of a subkey? or, more importantly, if the subkey expires, can i still use 90414D8C as both public and secret key? thanks, jason On Tue, Mar 05, 2002 at 02:47:32PM -0500, Phillip Hofmeister wrote: | Perhaps only the subkey is expired? | | -----Original Message----- | From: "Jason M.
