Well I see there are at least 5 "standards" for automatically getting
keys, maybe more (http, ftp, email, ldap, and x-hkp). If I set up gpg
to use keyserver
http://wwwkeys.us.pgp.net, and look at one of Derek's
messages, mutt displays this:
[-- PGP output follows (current time: Wed Sep 25 15:10:28 2002) --]
gpg: unable to execute program "gpgkeys_http": No such file or directory
gpg: Signature made Sun Sep 1 08:31:35 2002 MST using DSA key ID
F417FFCF
gpg: no handler for keyserver scheme "http"
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
[-- End of PGP output --]
gpgkeys is a program that refuses to run without X. I'm guessing
gpgkeys_http would be a simple command-line client which returns
the result of a query to an http keyserver, but it doesn't seem to
exist on Debian.
If I set
keyserver x-hkp://pgp.mit.edu
then when I open that message, it takes a while, then I get
[-- PGP output follows (current time: Wed Sep 25 15:13:30 2002) --]
gpg: Signature made Sun Sep 1 08:31:35 2002 MST using DSA key ID
F417FFCF
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
[-- End of PGP output --]
So I guess at least it's connecting to the MIT keyserver (right?) but not
finding Derek's key. And this search
http://wwwkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=derek%40gnue.org
also finds nothing, whereas for Randy:
http://wwwkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=Kaelber&fingerprint=on
quite a few, but none for this latest ASU address. So I guess you have
to get a new key for each email address that you use?
