The minimum of 5 characters applies to the full user ID, not to your first name. So If you are "Pol Hallen <polhal...@fuckaround.org>" then you're well over the 5 character minimum. I don't think the minimum is strictly in the RFC, but since this field is indended to identify the key owner in the web of trust, using a value shorter than 5 is probably indeed too a-specific and not what you want, and I can understand GnuPG's choice to protect the user against creating and uploading a non-specific key user ID. Cheers, Thijs
