 Config broken... I'll try to figure out what exactly is going wrong
 since it's working now without any change...

Well, isn't Aw the German equivalent of Re? Looks like something is
going through and making all your Aw's are actually Re's, but only on

It's a term that some German versions of broken pieces of software use
as default.

Yeah, that was the reason. I just changed the right pattern to a wrong
one allthough I wanted to change a wrong to a right one. That's why I
thought I didn't change anything. But it should do now.

 So it seems.

 Are there just one or two, or are there a bunch, or does anyone really
 know?  Do the servers in a given network synchronize with each other, or
 do even they have problems?

There are a few, I guess. It would not make sence to not share the key
database as much as possible. Imagine, a keyserver with a non-shared
database is suddenly not available anymore.

... but it doesn't help at all if people don't submit their key because

What's most annoying are the folks who not only don't submit their
key, but they also don't put it on their web page, or they don't
put a link in their sigline.

I know one person who has a demonstrated abundance of clue, but his
sigline says finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for my public key, but foo.bar
doesn't accept finger...

I don't care about that unless they don't sign anything. I always got
the keys upon request.

If they were absolutely consequent they would have to stop using their
own key because it may be stored on a much more untrusted server than a
keyserver, IMHO. The most secure way is to carry a disc with the keys
from A to B to have absolute control of the carrier...

gpg-key probs (Was: Re: Tag or delete...)

[...snip...]
   That's odd, I get the same thing as Shawn:
 
 gpg: Signature made Wed 27 Mar 2002 02:29:20 PM CST using DSA key ID 57C3430B
 gpg: requesting key 57C3430B from wwwkeys.us.pgp.net ...
 gpg: key 57C3430B: invalid subkey binding
 gpg: key 57C3430B: no valid user IDs

And I get the same as David. I use 'keyserver pgp.mit.edu'.
But you should only have to upload to _one_ keyserver, right?

As you said, John: odd.

There's more than one keyserver network.

However, it's easier to ask somebody what server they use, and then
figure out what network it's on, than to ask them what network it's on.

They can get the answer to the one question from their options file; the
other requires clue.  Not saying anyone involved in this discussion
doesn't have clue, just saying the general case.

Are there just one or two, or are there a bunch, or does anyone really
know?  Do the servers in a given network synchronize with each other, or
do even they have problems?

I have this huge list of keyservers in my options file and it would be
nice to *know* that I could prune it down to one per network and go from
there, assuming I know which machines are in which networks.  Since gpg
doesn't offer any simple way to rotate or fall through key servers, the
list I have is hardly helpful, either.

I think there are a few, and some of them synchronize with others.

Beyond that, I dunno.

Generally they're clustered around a given piece of keyserver software,
so you can probably track them somewhat that way.
