+Install the monkeysphere software on your system
+------------------------------------------------
+
+If you haven't installed monkeysphere yet, you will need to [download
+and install] (/download) before continuing.
+
+Make sure that you have the GnuTLS library version 2.6 or later
+installed on your system. If you can't (or don't want to) upgrade to
+GnuTLS 2.6 or later, there are patches for GnuTLS 2.4 available in
+[the Monkeysphere git repo](/community).
Keeping your `known_hosts` file in sync with your keyring
-----------------------------------------------------------
Once you have created an OpenPGP authentication subkey, you will need
to feed it to your ssh agent.
-Currently (2008-08-23), gnutls does not support this operation. In order
-to take this step, you will need to upgrade to a patched version of
-gnutls. You can easily upgrade a Debian system by adding the following
-to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/monkeysphere.list`:
-
- deb http://archive.monkeysphere.info/debian experimental gnutls
- deb-src http://archive.monkeysphere.info/debian experimental gnutls
-
-Next, run `aptitude update; aptitude install libgnutls26`.
-
-With the patched gnutls installed, you can feed your authentication
-subkey to your ssh agent by running:
+The GnuTLS library supports this operation as of version 2.6, but
+earlier versions do not. With a recent version of GnuTLS installed,
+you can feed your authentication subkey to your ssh agent by running:
$ monkeysphere subkey-to-ssh-agent
key, and then you have to indicate a trust level.

host-certifying key, or by giving marginal trust to three different
host-certifiers. In the following we demonstrate how to add full trust
validity to a host-certifying key:
-
- $ gpg --edit-key <admin_keyid>
- Command> trust
- pub 2048R/3B757F8C created: 2008-06-19 expires: 2008-11-16 usage: CA
- trust: unknown validity: full
- [ unknown ] (1). ssh://monkeysphere.info
- [ unknown ] (2) ssh://george.riseup.net

- Please decide how far you trust this user to correctly verify other users' keys
- (by looking at passports, checking fingerprints from different sources, etc.)
-
- 1 = I don't know or won't say

- 3 = I trust marginally
- 4 = I trust fully

Note: Due to a limitation with gnupg, it is not currently possible to
limit the domain scope properly, which means that if you fully trust
-an admin, this admin can currently assert host verification for any
-hosts.

of trust, it is important to understand [how GPG calculates User ID
