Hi
Thanks for the help. the commands suggested gave the following error messages. > When a user > receives an encrypted mail from his peer ... he is able > to read the mail only after receiving the KEY of sender > to his pubring.gpg . Not quite right, but Faramir has already addressed this point. > But the problem here is each user has to receive KEYs > of all the other one after another....which i dont think > is the correct way. ??????? It would be the usual way to download keys from the server as needed. > is there any way of receiving > all the Public-keys that are available with the local SKS > keyserver ??????? If all the keys on your local server have a common string in the user-id, this would be trivial. Let's assume the common string is "@domain.example" and try issuing the command gpg --keyserver hkp://localhost --recv-key @domain.example ^^[r...@localhost ~]# gpg --keyserver hkp://localhost --recv-key @localhost ^^gpg: skipping invalid key ID "@localhost"# by questioner# Doesn't that fetch all keys on that server containing that string? Or maybe "gpg --fetch-keys hkp://localhost" might do it? ^^[r...@localhost ~]# gpg --fetch-keys hkp://localhost ^^gpg: Invalid option "--fetch-keys" # by questioner# > if it is ?? how to update users > pubring.gpg periodically Put the required commands in a batch file and schedule it to be run periodically, perhaps? > or when ever a new KEY is > received by the KEYSERVER? Please help me.. "--auto-key-locate [parameters]" could be used to fetch new keys as needed, rather than as soon as posted to the server ^^ i have added the line keyserver-options --auto-key-locate ^^ in my ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file i have to see how it works - -- Best regards MFPA mailto:[email protected] Wisdom is a companion to age; yet age may travel alone. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQCVAwUBTFoIGaipC46tDG5pAQqpsAQArzzZm0F5xQS0KnB1IqGSKxarup4ORMJf W2PG/4FmQ8YVSbmLe10hewCrsgQzCywtuKkA8XxelI26hvz8mBz5h2RwatUsKG+s ba8gZpGw7jkOwR+cGTxUL+XxC0xOrGAdwpa86qIbIv8eaD60GILqPdnc4h/Qxy4V Uyq6WyZqz2o= =SMxk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
