Those instructions are a bit odd. So let's write them in a language we understand. For starters, install the package signing-party. It is originally from Debian, but it seems to be available on quite a few other distributions. It automates most of what you need to do after you meet the people and verify their signatures. But now we still have to get this finger-print (and no, this is not Meir Shitrit's work) of a key. ################################## # # If you have just a single key: # gpg --list-secret-keys --fingerprint >key.asc mutt -a key.asc -s "AP09: $LOGNAME's key" s...@shayohayon.net ################################## # # Alternatively, you have several keys, and you need to ask for a # specific key: # gpg --list-secret-keys --fingerprint 0DDD1FF4 >key.asc mutt -a key.asc -s "AP09: $LOGNAME's key" s...@shayohayon.net ################################## # # If you also have an old key that you want to send along: # specific key: # gpg --list-secret-keys --fingerprint 0DDD1FF4 >key.asc gpg --list-secret-keys --fingerprint 437D328B >oldkey.asc mutt -a key.asc -a oldkey.asc -s "AP09: $LOGNAME's key (and old one)" s...@shayohayon.net The mail here is unsigned because I didn't really want to bother. It may be worth signing it merely as an exercise in using GPG, or if Shay already trusts your key. And how did I come up with those odd key identifiers? I recently created a new public key, as the old one is not up to recent standards. So let's look at my keys: $ gpg --list-secret-keys /home/tzafrir/.gnupg/secring.gpg -------------------------------- sec 1024D/437D328B 2004-11-09 uid Tzafrir Cohen (Key3) <tzaf...@technion.ac.il> uid Tzafrir Cohen <tzaf...@cohens.org.il> uid Tzafrir Cohen <tzaf...@dira.dyndns.org> ssb 1024g/1DECC62A 2004-11-09 sec 2048R/0DDD1FF4 2009-06-26 [expires: 2019-06-24] uid Tzafrir Cohen <tzaf...@cohens.org.il> The ID of the first key is 437D328B and of the second is 0DDD1FF4. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
