wkd-to-hkp

A tool to send modified keys from a Web Key Directory to one or more hkp keyservers

Usage

This tool must be installed on the server that hosts your Web Key Directory. It requires a POSIX system, and the utilities gpg and find.

Quick start

Copy the sample config file into /etc/wkd-to-hkp.conf and edit to taste, then copy or soft link the script wkd-to-hkp into /etc/cron.hourly.

Security

For extra safety, you should run this command as a non-root user. You will have to change the permissions on SPOOLDIR (default: /var/spool/wkd-to-hkp) and invoke the command from the user's crontab (using crontab -e).

Caveats

To avoid flooding the keyservers, this tool will only submit keys that have been added or modified since it was first run. If you know what you are doing and really want it to submit historical keys, you can touch some or all of your key files so that they will be recognised as new.
