 PUBLIC_KEYS Echo Guidelines:                             rev.  2 JUL 01
 Posting Frequency: 1st and 15th of the month.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

 It is recommended that individual, public-keys be made available via
 Netmail or by file-request with the magic filename: PGPKEY and that the
 public-key provided for that request by given a distinctive filename
 using part or all of each provider's name and address. For example, on
 my system, a file-request of PGPKEY will give MFLKEY.ASC to the
 requesting system. A magic filename of KEYRING will yield my working
 Public Keyring as MFLPUB.PGP. INETRING will give you PUBKEYS.PGP which
 is a ring i downloaded from one of the large public keyservers some
 years back. This will avoid duplicate overwriting and make it easier
 to track the keys. Using standard magic filenames will make it easier
 to find keys and keyrings on different systems.
 
 The PGP and Privacy and encryption related files on each system should
 be maintained with a magic filename for file request. PGPFILES should be
 set on all participating systems to allow your current related files to
 be picked up at any time. It is suggested that the actual filename
 indicate the origin of the list to avoid confusion and overwriting.
 PGPFILES requested from this system =currently= returns no files.
 
 This Echo should currently be available on all fidonet backbones. It
 has been EListed since ELIST211. Please feel free to announce this Echo
 in all Nets and Networks.
 
 A companion Echo for the purpose of submitting public-keys only is now
 available as PKEY_DROP Echo. PKEY_DROP may be obtained via the same
 channels as PUBLIC_KEYS.
 
 NOTE:
 
 If you lose your secret-key password [or forget it] or your secret-key
 in a drive crash [because you failed to back it up on floppy], you
 cannot issue a revocation certificate. In that case, you should make a
 general announcement in all related Echos that your old key should be
 disabled using the PGP disable command [PGP -kd userid] for your userid.
 That keeps your useless key on their keyrings [so they won't be replaced
 from other lists who didn't get the word] and permits them to add a new
 key from you without one interfering with the other. BACKUP! BACKUP!
 BACKUP! [clear?] [grin]
 
 Thanks.
