The folks at pgp.com have this nice service https://keyserver1.pgp.com/vkd/GetWelcomeScreen.event where they perodicly send out prob emails to confirm that a e-mail adress is still alive. You can then have you key signed by them. To use these features one must have theire key in your local keyring.
This is all very noce, but today i noticed i did not have psi (jabber client) running with gnupg support. As i maintain that package and had just placed a new version on portage i was expecting a flood of bugs. After countless hours of building psi/qt/gnupg i noticed that on some commands gnupg gave a strange message: gpg: buffer shorter than subpacket After some digging i found some messages: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2005-June/025952.html The problem is between gnupg and the PGP Global Directory Verification Key (0xCA57AD7C) . As strange as it seems removing the key with a gpg --delete-keys 0xCA57AD7C and importing it again seems to have solved the problems. -- Gustavo Felisberto (HumpBack) Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~humpback Blog: http://blog.felisberto.net/ ------------ It's most certainly GNU/Linux, not Linux.
