Hello, I am working with Debian Stretch (9.13) and GPG 2.1.18.
The "private-keys-v1.d" directory has per default the permissions 700 (drwx------), but I need them to be 770 (drwxrwx---). I can change the permissions ($ chmod 770 private-keys-v1.d) but after some time they are be back to 700.
According to the documentation (https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/GPG-Esoteric-Options.html#GPG-Esoteric-Options) there is an option "--preserve-permissions" with the description "Don't change the permissions of a secret keyring back to user read/write only." I assumed that is what I need and added this option as "preserve-permissions\n" to the "gpg.conf" file.
But it is not working as expected. When I stop the gpg-agent ($ gpgconf --kill gpg-agent) and trigger its restart ($ gpg -K), the permissions are back to 700. (I also checked, that the gpg.conf file is in fact used.)
Where am I wrong here? Is the setting not what I need, or do I set it incorrectly, or do I test it incorrectly?
And if the setting is not what I need, how can I prevent the permissions for "private-keys-v1.d" from changing?
