Hi all..
I'm trying to get this to work. I've got a 1024k key working. But a few of my buddies are using 4096k keys. How can I work with this?
Use
# gpg --gen-key
from the command line to generate the key and specify 4096 bits as the
option. 4096 bits is fairly paranoid. I use 1024 bits and make the key
expire after a year.
You might also like to export your key to a keyserver. This one took me
a while. You can copy and paste to http://www.keyserver.net using a web
browser, but first you have to export the key using something like
#gpg --list-keys
gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
