> how do i sign my new public key with my old private key? okay sorry to follow up my own message but i just figured it out. sometimes it seems that i have to write down (or explain it to someone else) in order to figure it out.
if you need to do this it seems impossible from with in the --edit-key menu you need to do it on the command line like this: # gpg -u old-key-id --sign-key new-key-id so now my next question is. my old key id is expired but i've used it to sign my new key. i don't want people to use my old key. should i revoke my old key or will that illegitimize it's signature on my new key? should i move the expire date on my old key (and update the keys server)? if i do that how do i stop people from using it? thanks, adam.
