If you are going to sign emails, PLEASE make sure your key is on subkeys.pgp.net! Ta. > Is there any command that will delete expired keys from a keyring ? From previous discussions here: gpg --batch --yes --delete-key `gpg --list-keys --fixed-list-mode \ --with-colons | grep "^pub" | grep -v "^pub:[u|f]:" | cut -f5 -d":"` That deletes anything that is NOT u (ultimate trust) of f (full trust). Adapt the regexp ^pub:[u|f] to suit. If, like me, you run this regularly as a cron job to filter out the useless keys that clutter up many keyrings, use: #!/bin/bash gpg --check-trustdb gpg --batch --yes --delete-key `gpg --list-keys --fixed-list-mode \ --with-colons | grep "^pub" | grep -v "^pub:[u|f]:" | cut -f5 -d":"` gpg --import /home/neil/documents/gpg/people/*.asc gpg --refresh-keys gpg --check-trustdb The import line brings back keys that I want but which I have not yet had a chance to sign. The refresh-keys command updates every key still in the keyring - you could run that FIRST but it takes longer. It depends how likely it is that some of the "junk" keys will turn out to be trusted once refreshed. Of course, one man's junk is another man's gold. YMMV. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
