I followed these steps verbatim: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys 1. gpg --gen-key (I used all the default values) 2. gpg --fingerprint your@xxxxxxxxxxxxx For me this prints something such as the following: pub 1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46 20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB Murray McAllister (Fedora Docs Project / mdious) <murray.mcallister@xxxxxxxxx> sub 2048g/B04CFA0C 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] Maybe the GPGKEYID is confusing? Using my example, first line (pub), it is the second hex value (81B3FDEB) 3. Upload to MIT: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-keys 81B3FDEB 4. To export them, and possibly upload them to make an account: gpg --export --armor murray.mcallister@gmail > murray_pub.asc will export my public key to murray_pub.asc If you are still around, could you please run through the steps I have here (even though they are a copy of the website), and let me know how you go. All the best. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pub 1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46 20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB Murray McAllister (Fedora Docs Project / mdious) <murray.mcallister@xxxxxxxxx> sub 2048g/B04CFA0C 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] -- fedora-docs-list mailing list fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
