how secure is secring.pgp?

[J. Michael Diehl]

Yet another pgp question... We don't get any pgp news groups here.

Since we need a passphrase to access our secret key, it is reasonable to think
that our secring.pgp file is pretty secure, as long as our passphrase is 
notrivial.  What am I missing here?

Thanx in advance.
