This certificate is not entered into the keyring automatically, you have to gpg --import it first. gpg --edit <key>, with 'revsig' allows you to revoke specific signatures, amognst them userid binding signatures, too. These revocations are entered into the keyring directly. hth -- vbi -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg WARNING: keyserver.kjsl.com *only* carries a valid copy of my key
