Hello,
 I was interested in changing my passphrase for my gpg key. It seems
that if it is a good idea to change nomral passwords from time to time
that it would also be a good idea to change gpg passphrases. When I
enter passwd into the edit-key dialog it say that it is changing the
passphrase for my 1024-bit DSA key, ID 13300731, created 2001-07-07.
Will this change my passphrase for my secret key as well? I did not
think that there was separate passwords for pub and private key but the
output is confusing me. And howcome changing of gpg passphrases
regularly is not recommended anywhere in the docs?
