I smell a topic for a WLUG meeting... :)
My question is this: how do I get someone's public key ?
There are public key servers that you can grab the keys from, assuming that the people uploaded the keys. The default config file for gnupg specifies a few commented out, so just uncomment one of them for use.
From there, you use "gpg --recv-key keyid" from the commandline to grab it.
You can also have the key e-mail to you, find it on a website, or any other number of ways that you get any time of file from someone.
