Package: KGPG Version: 1.2 Trouble interfacing KGPG with The PGP Global Directory.
Example: When I search via the Global Directory *Web Site* for a key for [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get the correct key. However, when I do the exact same search via ldap://keyserver.pgp.com, an incorrect key for a different email address is offered ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Reason: The PGP Global Directory only returns one key to prevent harvesting, so if your search criteria is not precise, you may not get the right key. Kgpg does not offer the choice of "is" or "contains" for the search parameter, The first key that the Global Directory finds that "contains" the term is returned. Therefore when I enter [EMAIL PROTECTED] KGPG receives the key for [EMAIL PROTECTED] because that address "contains" the term [EMAIL PROTECTED] even though it does not "equal" [EMAIL PROTECTED] See thread http://forums.pgpsupport.com/viewtopic.php?t=3845 Suggestion: Beat some sense into PGP Inc. so that their server looks for a match before settling for a near-miss. Or, add a "is" / "contains" parameter to the keyserver search. I am using SimplyMEPIS 3.3.1-1 Debian GNU/Linux 2.6.x -- Thanks! Lance W.
