That is the final piece of information I needed. I had previously downloaded the public key (I just did now know what to do with it), so I used the command gpg --import pgpkey2009.txt and then the following command worked gpg --verify bind-9.7.2-P3.tar.gz.sha256.asc bind-9.7.2-P3.tar.gz If I rename bind-9.7.2-P3.tar.gz.sha256.asc to bind-9.7.2-P3.tar.gz.asc then the following shorter command will work gpg --verify bind-9.7.2-P3.tar.gz.asc Well, I seem to have insecure memory and the key is not certified with a trusted signature, but I think that I will trust the result anyway. Thanks to everyone for their help. Perhaps all of the above should be on isc's web page.
