[YLUG] gpg question

[Jan Tobias Muehlberg]

You'll probably need to take a look at the code to figure out the
details...

This only tells you what your settings in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf are.

Now gpg scanns for signed keys in your keyring.
- "depth: 0"   : means that gpg is searching for keys that are directly
                 signed
- "valid:   2" : there are two keys marked as ultimetely trusted
- "signed:  7" : 7 keys have signatures made with keys available
                 in your keyring
- "trust ..."  : tells you that you have 2 ultimetely trusted
                 keys; see [1] for details

Now we are checking the 7 signed keys. 3 of them have no trust
level defined, 4 are fully trusted.
