It seems there's two interesting problems which inter-relate.
The first is PGP corporation's "global directory", which seems to operate
orthogonally from every other keyserver I've seen. It's HTTP-only, not
queryable by any of the open-source clients (in fact, it doesn't support
wildcard searches at all, and returns a captcha before delivering
results), and not SUBMITTABLE to from any of the open source clients.
Not exactly. The GD speaks LDAP, so you can set your keyserver to
ldap://keyserver.pgp.com and you can query and submit, etc.
Interesting, I didn't see mention of that. I must try this (assuming I've
built with LDAP support, that is, which under BSD is a bit obtuse).
It's also the ONLY keyserver I've seen that supports photo IDs, and
actually uses the web interface to show you the person.
The SKS servers (i.e. pretty much everything that isn't the GD) do support
photo IDs, but they do not use the web interface to show you the photo.
That was what I meant to imply, perhaps I was unclear.
Are you sure about that? "clean" strips off useless signatures (useless
being defined as an invalid signature, a superseded signature, a revoked
signature, and a signature from a key that isn't present on the keyring).
Signatures from keys that are present, but have no trust value are not
stripped off.
Let me double check. I saw it earlier today when transferring my work sig to
my personal one. But it might just have been that my coworkers did not have
sigs present. It's entirely possible I mangled the windows.
Yup, that's what happened. I had imported my work key to my personal
machine, but didn't have the keys of all my coworkers on my personal box,
so "clean" decided to be helpful.
I pulled it off the keyserver again, and then pulled down the keys of all
my coworkers, and was good.
On a related subject, is there a way to say "pull down the keys of all
keyids who have signed key X"?
