Well, considering it is taking 48 hours for me to get mail right now, I
may not be your best resource. (Off-topic: securetransit.com. Grrr.)
Caff is just a Perl hacker's attempt at automating the signing process
for those who have configured their local workstation to send mail. You
should still be able to do this manually. Here's how I would do this
(please, please, those with more knowledge correct me here!):
1. Get the key you want to sign. Using Bill's Key ID from our signing list:
$gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 16738E52
gpg: requesting key 16738E52 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
gpg: key 16738E52: "Bill Sconce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1
2. Sign the key:
$ gpg --sign-key [EMAIL PROTECTED]
pub 1024D/16738E52 created: 2007-03-15 expires: never usage: SC
trust: full validity: full
sub 2048g/A83FAD0C created: 2007-03-15 expires: never usage: E
[ full ] (1). Bill Sconce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Your current signature on "Bill Sconce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
is a local signature.
Do you want to promote it to a full exportable signature? (y/N) y
pub 1024D/16738E52 created: 2007-03-15 expires: never usage: SC
trust: full validity: full
Primary key fingerprint: 7F86 42C8 BEB4 58E4 7048 950C B446 E3AE 1673 8E52
Bill Sconce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Are you sure that you want to sign this key with your
key "Ted Roche <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" (A0B8C468)
Really sign? (y/N) y
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Ted Roche <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID A0B8C468, created 2007-01-15
3. Export the key, encrypted with my key, to email to Bill:
Um. I tried a couple of things and just managed to mangle up my shell
windows with lines-and-boxes font characters. Anyone have a suggestion
on how to do this one? Anyone? Beuller?
