cannot change passphrase entered via enigmail on new system

Wed, 14 May 2008 22:12:50 GMT

Hello, in 2005 I created a private key using enigmail (I know now this was a big mistake :-( ). Recently I changed my complete system (from Gentoo to Ubuntu ...). The consequence is, that I cannot enter the correct passphrase. Neither with enigmail, nor on the command line. I suppose this is a problem with the character encoding. I dont think that I can manage it to restore my old system with all the stuff like char encoding, enigmail version ... I ...

Automating, passwd command replies, 'Need the secret key to do this.'

Tue, 13 May 2008 21:03:48 GMT

Following the instructions for creating a subkey seem straightforward., but I run into a problem after moving secring.auto and the "public keyring" to a test directory. First, I'm unsure which file(s) is the "public keyring." At the end, the instructions say to use the "passwd" command to remove the passphrase. Did I not copy the right file? ...
