See I thought, hmm this is going to be an important password letts
think
up a new one (mistake!), used it a couple of times then didn't use it
for a few months and now BUMMER!

Now I've already submitted my gpg key to:
pgp.mit.edu.
I could ofcourse just nuke my current .gpg dir and start from scratch
since not many people have my public key already, but then my old key
would still be registered at
pgp.mit.edu .

I'm already quite embaressed about this as it is, so no that is
SO
stupid replies please.
I feel your pain. Once upon a time, I had three PGP 2.6.2 keys, but I
had only submitted one to
pgp.mit.edu. I wanted to revoke it, so I
revoked it in my local keychain, and extracted *the WRONG key* and
submitted it to
pgp.mit.edu. As luck would have it, it was the one out
of the three keys whose password I had long forgotten due to lack of
use.
*sigh*
Maybe the new dual Opteron box I just ordered can crack the passwords
for both our keys. ;-)
I would *love* to find a way to remove my key from
pgp.mit.edu as
well. Any help to Hans would be appreciated over here as well.
