Karl, what steps do you use to generate keys?

I followed these steps verbatim:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys

1. gpg --gen-key (I used all the default values)
2. gpg --fingerprint your at email.address

For me this prints something such as the following:

pub   1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18]
Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46  20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB

Maybe the GPGKEYID is confusing? Using my example, first line (pub),
it is the second hex value (81B3FDEB)

3. Upload to MIT: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-keys 81B3FDEB

4. To export them, and possibly upload them to make an account: gpg
--export --armor murray.mcallister at gmail > murray_pub.asc
will export my public key to murray_pub.asc

If you are still around, could you please run through the steps I have
here (even though they are a copy of the website), and let me know how
you go.

All the best.
