Thanks; these are the lines I was thinking along. I'll give it a try.

Something else that makes me curious; RPM 4.2 is apparently capable of
signing a package with a 2048-bit RSA key, but not verifying the same;

[root@localhost root]# rpm -K <package>
<package>: (SHA1) DSA sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#3c494ff0)

I'm using gpg to generate these keys. Do I misunderstand the gpg-rpm
interaction?
