I tried once from dargo and it failed.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] porter]$ gpg --send-keys 57367482
gpg: can't connect to `www.mandrakesecure.net': No route to host
gpg: keyserver send failed: network error

Should we just pick some random keyserver out there in internet land and
use the --keyserver option?

Well, first off, if you have any private keys on a shared machine, especially
something like dargo, I'd immediately revoke your public keys and generate
new ones on a private machine... preferably one not connected to the internet.
The only way a private key has any meaning that it was you who wrote a message
is that you guarantee that it has not been accessed by anyone else and if
you've got it on a shared system then there's no way to guarantee that.

Cheers,
Tanner
