rsync - Jan 2004 - gpg: public key not found

Quick question: 

I was trying to verify signature file rsync-2.6.0.tar.gz.sig for latest
version or rsync and am getting:

gpg: Signature made Thu Jan 01 11:14:08 2004 PST using DSA key ID 4B96A8C5
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

I've checked for this key id but have not found it.  Yes I have imported
samba-pubkey.asc but still not go...  

Thanks in advance,

Dave G.

The key is available through the public keyserver network.  One way to
get it is to do a manual key receive:

gpg --keyserver=x-hkp://pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 4B96A8C5

Another is to configure gpg to do automatic key retrievals by adding
these lines to its config file (substitute whatever keyserver you like):

keyserver x-hkp://pgp.mit.edu
keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve

Then it would automatically fetch the key when you do the gpg --verify.

Finally, if your system is not on a network, you can get the key via a
webbrowser by fetching this URL:

http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4B96A8C5

You can then import the returned text into the appropriate system.
