This portion of my site is powered by Blosxom. Blosxom is a perl script whose functionality here is extended through several plugin scripts in order to dynamically assemble a multitude of separate plain text files stored in a directory tree on the server into a cohesive, dated and RSS enabled weblog. Now in daily (r)sync with the directories on Nate's Powerbook.

Oops, my secret key expired!

http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Sysadmin/GnuPG

gpg --list-secret-keys
and note down (or copy) the ID of the key whose key expiry you would like to edit (e.g. '277FF772'). Then pass the key ID to gpg and enter its console mode:
gpg --edit-key 277FF772
Now select the first sub key (subkey 0):
Command> key 0
and edit the expiry options:
Command> expire

You can now set the expiry for this subkey (usually this is the public key part of the private/public key pair).

Changing expiration time for the primary key.
Please specify how long the key should be valid.
0 = key does not expire
= key expires in n days
w = key expires in n weeks
m = key expires in n months
y = key expires in n years
Key is valid for? (0) 1y
Key expires at Di 17 Jun 2008 13:26:24 CEST
Is this correct? (y/N) y

GPG will then show the updated key data.

Repeat the above steps for all sub keys. Start by selecting the second subkey:
Command> key 1

Finally, quit the GPG console and save any changes:
Command> quit
