Hello Rhodo,

I have ask for some hours about installing a  GPG   Key-Sever  and  your
message gaved me the name...  :-)

As I read your other posting and if I understand you correctly, it seems to me you're having the same problem as I do. :-)

There are different solutions for keyservers, available under an open source license as well. Just have a look at sourceforge.

Hello!

I recently found onak[1] in the Debian-Repositories[2]. I'm looking for a small howto or even documentation about it. Can anyone point me to one? Is there a way to restrict access to a (own) keyserver? So only a small group of persons have access to it?

The best way is, not to make it public...  It seems, Key-Sever  can  not
be resticted by Passwords or such.  I want to install a private one  for
my arround 530 customers with over 140.000 users.

I could imagine that a webfrontend to a keyserver can be restricted via an easy htaccess-file.

The only two things I do not know currently are:

    1)  How to sync a private Key-Sever with the public ones

IIRC: in the config files of onak there are several options to do that.

    2)  How many disk space do I need...

You already did a calculation. Taking your numbers into account, one key takes about 8230 Bytes of disk space. It looks realistic to me...

Hmmm, for comparing my ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg is arround 136 MByte in size
and has stored 17326 Keys.  If I extract all of them, I get a disk space
usage of 187 MByte which mean, 1mio Keys consume  10 GByte  disk  space.

See above.

That does not work for me!?
