Anything less than the full fingerprint (8, 7 or whatever) should be considered ambiguous[1]. If there are multiple keys matching the partial fingerprint (of any size), that should be an error. I don't think a partial fingerprint that is 7 characters long should be treated any different than one that is 8 characters. 1. http://www.asheesh.org/note/debian/short-key-ids-are-bad-news -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
