I'm seeking advice on GPG keys. I hope someone can help.
I have two expired GPG keys, not signed by anyone:
12:46][walt](0)$ gpg --list-keys `listpath -p gpgkeys`
pub 1024D/BB76D1B2 2002-06-01 Walter Robert Sullivan (Unix Guy) <walt [ at ] trytel [ dot ] com>
sub 1024g/C5CB1631 2002-06-01
pub 1024D/F22B589A 2004-12-06 Walter R. Sullivan (Walt) <walt [ at ] trytel [ dot ] com>
sub 1024g/49CB003B 2004-12-06
[12:47][walt](0)$ gpg --list-sigs `listpath -p gpgkeys`
pub 1024D/BB76D1B2 2002-06-01 Walter Robert Sullivan (Unix Guy) <walt [ at ] trytel [ dot ] com>
sig 3 BB76D1B2 2005-05-11 Walter Robert Sullivan (Unix Guy) <walt [ at ] trytel [ dot ] com>

Should I
1) Forget about them, and start over, generating a new key (for my new
email address), bring fingerprint slips and my passport to an OCLUG
meeting (after having announced it to the OCLUG list first), ...
2) Try to rehabilitate one or both by changing the expiration date, if
that's even possible. I've tried using "gpg --edit-key", but it
seemed to have no effect. If this is your recommendation, do you
have any suggestions as to how I could accomplish this feat?
3) Go away, ask somebody else?
Thanks,
Walt
