Some hints to setup your keyserver: If you install a new keyserver you might need a fresh keydump to start with. At the time of this writing you could get one from http://ftp.prato.linux.it/pub/keyring/dump-latest/ If you don't find one feel free to ask on the SKS mailing list. You can retrieve the keydump by executing following commands as the root user (or just su to debian-sks user)): cd /var/lib/sks/dump su debian-sks -c "wget -q -r -np -nd -A pgp http://ftp.prato.linux.it/pub/keyring/dump-latest/ -e robots=off" To build the database from the keydumps call: su debian-sks -c "/usr/lib/sks/sks_build.sh" To make the server start you have to edit the defaults file: vi /etc/default/sks If you want to connect to the global sks-network, send a mail to pgp-keyserver-folk@flame.org or sks-devel@nongnu.org and ask for gossip partners. Include the partners in /etc/sks/membership. ----- Thanks to Peter Palfrader for building the original Debian package. -- Ondřej Surý , Thu, 19 May 2011 11:55:48 +0200
