That seems to be it. I was overriding getty and launching my own service as a non-root user and tty1 was still owned by root I've fixed permissions on the tty in ExecPreStart and haven't seen a pinentry error since. https://salsa.debian.org/tookmund-guest/pgpcr/blob/master/debian/pgp-clean-room.service Thanks, Jacob signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
