Checking the repository signing key


Contents



1. Repository signing key

Linux systems are usually configured to install the TSM client from the OUCS HFS repository. This is done by installing the oucs-hfs-repo package which sets up the repository and installs a public signing key that is then used to confirm that packages installed from the repository come from a trusted source. (The repository or packages are signed with the corresponding private key). If you wish to confirm the key is correct after you have installed the oucs-hfs-repo package then use one of the following procedures depending on what Linux variant you are using



2. Debian based systems, including Ubuntu

Issue the following command

apt-key finger | grep HFS -A 2 -B 2

You should see one of the following:

 pub   1024D/EF91DF05 2011-02-24
               Key fingerprint = 60AC EDB6 980E A06D 4879  9299 CDBD F30C EF91 DF05
               uid                  OUCS HFS Team (GPG signing key) <hfs@ox.ac.uk>
               sub   1024g/2EB4A12C 2011-02-24

or

pub   1024D/EF91DF05 2011-02-24
               Key fingerprint = 60AC EDB6 980E A06D 4879  9299 CDBD F30C EF91 DF05
               uid                  IT Services HFS Team (GPG signing key) <hfs@ox.ac.uk>
               sub   1024g/2EB4A12C 2011-02-24

If the fingerprint does not match that shown above then contact hfs@ox.ac.uk for advice.
