The is no big security in checking with an untrusted key... but anyway
you can retrieve it on a "web keyserver" like this:
http://keyserver.kjsl.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&fingerprint=on&search=0x189C0E94

If you have "port 80 only" web accessm use this: (but *only* if you
have
problems with the other URL)
http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/skylane/pks-commands.php?docmd=lookup&op=vindex&search=0x189C0E94&fingerprint=on&exact=on

|$ gpg --verify ./rsync-2.5.6.tar.gz.sig ./rsync-2.5.6.tar.gz
|gpg: Signature made Tue Jan 28 00:41:02 2003 EST using DSA key ID 189C0E94
|gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

Did you configure keyservers in GPG options file, did you?
(or else you can use "--keyserver keyserver.kjsl.com" on the command
line)
