=========================

if you use a linked keyring, i'm also not sure how mangled the keyrings
would be if multiple users tried to update key info at the same time... it
may very well be UGLY.

of course, it might work fine if you have permissions like...

-rw-r-----  1 root  gpg-user  keyfile

in which case, everyone in group "gpg-user" will be able to read the keys,
but not write to them. again, i'm not sure if this will cause problems....
linking a keyring isn't covered in any documentation that i've seen...
