Subject : LUG: Post-Keysigning Party Instructions

Hi everyone,

For those of you who have not already signed keys, here are the insturctions
again:

gpg --recv-keys <keyid> # Download their key
gpg --fingerprint <keyid> # Verify that the key matches your paper
gpg --sign-key <keyid> # Sign with your key
gpg --send-keys <keyid> # Upload the signed version of the key

So far, only about half of the party's participants have uploaded everyone's
signed keys. Please take time to sign and upload everyone's key. It is
important for developing our web of trust and making the keysigning party
successful that we all do this last step.

A graphical representation of our web of trust is available at
http://www.nilbus.com/pub/ncsulug-trustweb.png

Don't hesitate to mail the list with any questions you have.

Thanks,
Ed Anderson
