[pmmail-list] Stupid PGP question(s)

[Andrew Webber]

I have a couple of PGP questions.

1. Am I right in thinking that using the same passphrase to create
a secret key on two different occasions, will result in two
different keys?

2. If I'm right about #1, then I really need to keep copies of
pubring.pkr and secring.skr, especially the latter!  (I have a
copy, but I figured if necessary I'd just re-generate the key).  Is
there any significant security issue if I give the keyrings to a
friend, to a relative, and so on, for safekeeping?

Thanks!
