i'm trying to learn how to verify signatures. i have downloaded and
installed gnupg. i have also downloaded the cvs.patch and
cvs.patch.asc
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-
03:01.cvs.asc and would like to verify the signature. my rough
understanding from the gnupg documentation is that i need to import the
public key into my public keyring before i can use gpg --verify to
verify the signature. i believe that i should use gpg --import "public
key file". how do i get the public key for the cvs.patch?
thank you,
michelle
