Thanks, John. I was unaware of the status page, I think that will be helpful. I'm not sure offhand which servers have been "buggy", but I believe I've connected to http://keys.gnupg.net/ in the past and been presented with a blank page, for instance. Is it considered impolite to advertise one specific keyserver (like gingerbear, for instance) in my sig? -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://keys.gnupg.net _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
