What does it hurt to delete a uid, or even a key? You seem to be asking for keyring permissions. That's beyond GnuPG's purpose. You should store your keyrings in an appropriately secured volume if you're worried about accidental or intentional removal of public keys or uid's. - -- Mike Daigle http://www.mikedaigle.ca My PGP Key mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gossamer Spider Web of Trust http://www.gswot.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GSWoT - Gossamer Spider Web of Trust - www.gswot.org iD8DBQFC+nL8NuccKlqTLlMRA2ZoAJ46SY8nKK8jIHAzs7vQszEvKIObqACfWrnX D9NsHb1WkgmyN8oy7tz05mQ= =j7Bi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
