NODE 51862887Adding an "AKA"
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
 
I just finished upgrading from PGP v2.2 to v2.3a (and without a
hitch, I might add). This may sound like a silly question, but
how do you add an AKA to your key? I skimmed through the
manual, as usual, to ensure that I didn't absent-mindedly overlook
something, but didn't see this mentioned. I have, however, seen it
done and have a couple on my keyring in fact.
 
 
Something along the <pgp -kva ferg> lines of:

Danke.

Paul,

I think all you do is

pgp -ke ferguson

and it will ask if you want to add more info to your public key.

I did this so now my public key looks like this: 'pgp -kvv barrus'

Key ring: '/home/klbarrus/Crypto/pgp/pubring.pgp', looking for user ID "barrus".
