OK, thanks for the tip. So, I won't need to change anything publicly?
Currently, I publish the public keys on a website... nothing to change
there? To go from three to one, I will import two of the private keys
into the remaining private key. Is it then OK to delete the individual
secret keys that I imported? What about revocation certs... are the ones
I have now OK, or should they be re-generated?
I apologize for all the questions... just don't wan t to screw this up.
Thanks again,
Brad
