Hi out there!

I'm entirelz new here and just started reading the archives (not everything from the early 90es *g*). I have some work here to do and I may need an keyserver for our company here. So I'm looking for software to get things done.

As far I've read there are some problems with pks? I doesn't support subkeys right? And sks is written in a language I dont even know :-) So is there anything in progress with pks?

Just some ancient time ago I wrote something like a keyserver using a sql database (was more a just for fun project than anything else). It was very dumb indeed but as long as there was a pgp commandline working it didn't care about the structure of the key at all. Just plain working ;-) 

Perhaps it's time go to the deep archives and got it into light again? I don't know what features a 'real" keyserver has to provide and how syncing is done. But I see that I must have a deeper look inside at all, since (as if I understand right) there is no out-of-the box soultion available for gpg-keys with subkeys, right? Since it started to snow right now it's perhaps the right time...

Cheers,
Jan
