    I administer a remote server and want to apply some of the security patches. (I assume this is the best way to go since I can't go into single-user mode to use CVsup).

    I have a couple of questions. First, I have installed one of the pgp ports to verify the patches. When I run it, I get this message:

    > File 'buffer46.patch.asc' has signature, but with no text.
    > Text is assumed to be in file 'buffer46.patch'.
    > signature not checked.
    > Signature made 2003/09/17 18:02 GMT
    > key does not meet validity threshold.
     
    > WARNING: Because this public key is not certified with a trusted
    > signature, it is not known with high confidence that this public key
    > actually belongs to: "(KeyID: 0xCA6CDFB2)".

    I guess that I need to do some additional set up to get pgp to validate this file. Can anyone tell me where to find a howto on this subject or tell me what to do?

    Second, Do I have apply each patch, then run make after each patch, or can I apply all the patches and just run make once?

    Any other advice or suggestions on updating a remote system would be appreciated.
