Well, that does not answer my actual question. I need to know the mechanism used to locate the applicatiom bundle. Letting the shell decide what pinentry to use is not a good idea - we need to be more specific. In affecting using system() instead of fork/exec is in general a bad idea for security reasons. exec-ing sh with pinentry as argument is similar to using the system() call. As I suggested: If you reall realy want to do that you should let pinentry re-exex itself. This way we don't need to change the GnuPG code. >> What about integrating the ObjC version into the pinentry package >> proper? > > I gave up when I didn't hear back from you. Sorry about that but I can't read or follow-up on all mails. Just keep on asking.
