Hi, I just installed gnupg-1.0.7-2mdk. The postinstall script created and populated /root/.gnupg with the following permissions:
# ll [root@obsidian .gnupg]# ll total 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 13 13:26 options -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3215 Aug 13 13:26 pubring.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2233 Aug 13 13:26 pubring.gpg~ -rw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 13 13:26 secring.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40 Aug 13 13:26 trustdb.gpg [root@obisdian .gnupg]# ll -d /root/.gnupg drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 200 Aug 13 13:26 /root/.gnupg/ According the gpg these permissions are unsafe: [root@obsidian .gnupg]# gpg gpg: Warning: unsafe permissions on file "/root/.gnupg/options" gpg: Warning: unsafe permissions on file "/root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg" gpg: Go ahead and type your message ... Maybe there should be something like a 'chmod -R 600 /root/.gnupg' in the postinstall script. Cheers, Andreas
