Following is with pgp.ai.mit.edu (My current setting) for Ethan's sig.
I do have problem even with this. 

[-- PGP output follows (current time: Wed Apr  4 10:35:23 2001) --]
gpg: Signature made Tue Apr  3 23:15:10 2001 PDT using DSA key ID 2C447AFC

gpg: can't get key from keyserver: Connection refused
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
[-- End of PGP output --]

I used to connect it OK and I have old pubring.gpg which confirmes your
sig without problem.  But when I use empty pubring.gpg to get them anew
I encounter problem.

I turned down firewall script down but still persist.  Any requirement
to connect to this server???

I had this problem today too. I killed my pubring-file because it was too 
big. And gpg wont import any public key from server.
The solution was easy for me: I had a file joerg.asc with my public-key. I 
imported it with gpg --import joerg.asc
Since then gpg could get keys from server again.

Re: keyserver has problem???

2001-04-04 Thread Osamu Aoki
I do not think you imported just your own public-key but all your
previously obtained public-key, did you??

I tried the same thing.  Now I can verify my signature but not others as I
expected.

I also tried to get my public key sent again to keyserver with

 $ gpg --keyserver pgp.ai.mit.edu --send-keys Osamu

And connection refused.

There is something going on.

Since pgp key is almost permanently cached at user machine forever,
these kind of connection problem is slowly felt...

NO. I exported my public-key just after i created it.
And I only imported this key, nothing else.
My pubring.gpg is noe 17306bytes, before that it was 580k !

 I tried the same thing.  Now I can verify my signature but not others as I

keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net
honor-http-proxy

Thats the keyserver im using. And gpg has imported 3 new keys since i zapped 
the pubring. For me it works :)

PS: DONT do full qoutes, only the necessary things please. :)

Wow, YES I can get new key from europe.  Thanks telling me one working
keyserver.

 keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net

I have problem with pgp.ai... still.  Strange since I am in USA
(California).

Maybe another local IP routing issue of my ISP?
Maybe overloaded keyserver in USA?

I will stay with this keyserver for a while.

i got a connection refused from pgp.ai.mit.edu last night, its
probably just down at the moment unless i missed an announcment of a
shutdown which i doubt.  

 I will stay with this keyserver for a while.

use one that works, i have found keyserver.net seems to have serious
issues with gpg keys, they never seem to show up there.  but as i said
its not the same keyserver software as used by every other keyserver.
