It'll specify a different key for each signatory. If you want to check each signature, you can either set gpg to retrieve all keys from keyservers or simply download the entire DCLUG keyring in one go and import all current DCLUG keys into gpg: http://www.dclug.org.uk/linux_adm/gnupg.html http://www.dclug.org.uk/linux_adm/gnupg.html#keyring http://www.dclug.org.uk/cgi-bin/keyring.pl Save the output of keyring.pl to a file and import (following instructions on the gnupg.html#keyring link.) To retrieve keys automatically, go to the ~/.gnupg/ folder and look for options or gpg.conf (depending on how old your version of gpg is). Then you can add a keyserver (pgp.mit.edu or pgp.uk.demon.net are OK for most keys) and add the auto-key-retrieve option to keyserver-options. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
