I am still missing something. Where exactly does "gpg" on dargo
go to find Joseph Tate's key?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] porter]$ gpg --fingerprint B5B05C42
gpg: error reading key: public key not found
Or, specifying a well-known keyserver...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] porter]$ gpg --fingerprint --keyserver \
subkeys.pgp.net B5B05C42
gpg: error reading key: public key not found
Well it works for me:
$ gpg --fingerprint --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net B5B05C42
pub 1024D/B5B05C42 2003-07-03
Key fingerprint = 070B 11E7 0D6A 99C2 466E A62D 20A0 B12D B5B0 5C42
uid Joseph Tate <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
uid Joseph Tate (main dragonstrider.com key)
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
uid Joseph Tate (Mi-Co) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

In theory, that B5B05C42 uniquely indentifies Joseph's key.
So why isn't it working in practice. Perhaps gpg on dargo isn't
interpreting B... as a hex value, you might try
gpg --fingerprint 0xB5B05C42
which is actually the spec, begging the question of why it works on my
machine, perhaps it's because I've already got Joseph's key on my
keyring.
