Mailing List Archive

Hi all,

(I have sent this same message about 6 hours ago, using my Yahoo.com mail
address. According to the mail that confirms the subscriptions to this
mailing list, a copy is sent by default to the sender. I did NOT get that
copy, so I assume there was some connectivity problem between Yahoo.com and
the Gnupg.org server. I am sending this again, using my spamcop.net
account. Well, let's get now to my problem then...)


I am using GNUpg 1.0.2 in Windows 98.

I generated successfully a key (for a different email address that I am
using now) by entering the following commands in a DOS Prompt:
C:\gnupg> gpg --gen-key
( I entered Real Name, comment and email address. Then I entered the
passphrase and confirm it and got the message that the key pairs were
generated successfully).

Then, following the instructions in The GNU Privacy Handbook at
http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html I tried to send the public key to a
keyserver by entering:
C:\GNUPG> gpg --keyserver certserver.pgp.com --send-key
my_email_address@my_domain.com
But, I only got the usual message of insecure memory that says:
gpg: Please note that you don't have secure memory on this system

I used PGP to lookup the key in certserver.pgp.com just to check if it was
uploaded. It was NOT. I also tried uploading it to keyserver.net in various
ways, always without success:
C:\GNUPG> gpg --keyserver search.keyserver.net --send-key
my_email_address@my_domain.com

C:\GNUPG> gpg --keyserver search.keyserver.net:11371 --send-key
my_email_address@my_domain.com

C:\GNUPG> gpg --keyserver http://search.keyserver.net:11371 --send-key
my_email_address@my_domain.com

C:\GNUPG> gpg --keyserver http://www.keyserver.net:11371 --send-key
my_email_address@my_domain.com


Can anyone help me here... please?

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes,

I have not used gpg to send keys to a keyserver and have not used the
windows version. I would guess though that this capability is not
included in the windows version. I may be wrong. I always use the form
on the web to submit my key. For example, go to
http://wwwkeys.us.pgp.net/

You are right. I simply forgot to do it. It is pretty easy to do but
it has do be done ;)

OK, thanks a lot for your response.

Could you add that information - that the windows
version does not yet support sending keys to the
keyserver - in the List of Bugs at
http://www.gnupg.org/buglist.html AND more
importantly in the "Distributing Keys" section of the
GNU Privacy HandBook at
http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN464

I think this would prevent some frustration from
Windows users - the frustation of _using Windows_
should be enough ;-)

On a side note, could you also tell when you add this
capability to the Windows version?


Thanks again! :)
