Re: [Sks-devel] How to delete single keys from the SKS keyserver

[David Young]

This brings up a good point.  How does one permanently drop a key across all SKS servers?  I didn't realize that a drop does not permanently remove a key.  It sort of defeats the purpose of a drop since the SKS servers are sync'ing every few seconds.  The key will reappear within minutes won't it?

Althouhg having read "sks help", "sks --help" and the man page at
least two times each, I really overlooked the sks drop command.

Thank you!

Yes, I'm aware of that, but I have to comply with a users request to
delete the key.

BTW, is there a way to block specific keys from being synced into my
server?

There's nothing in theory to prevent it, but I never got around to implementing blocks like this.

Thank you.
