Secure Key Generation Tutorial by TJL73 question and Linux
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I was following TJL73's tutorial on secure key generation with the below link and was having problems with updating a subkey from the primary-secret key in another directory. http://tjl73.altervista.org/secure_keygen/en/index.html $ gpg --homedir backup1 --keyring pubring.gpg --secret-keyring secring.gpg -trustdb-name trustdb.gpg --list-secret-keys gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir `backup1' I did a ls -al and found backup to have 744 access. I set it to 644 access and got the following. gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir `backup1' gpg: failed to create temporary file `backup1/.#lk0x811a5c8.pubuntu.3675': Permission denied gpg: keyblock resource `backup1/secring.gpg': general error gpg: failed to create temporary file `backup1/.#lk0x811a5c8.pubuntu.3675': Permission denied gpg: keyblock resource `backup1/secring.gpg': general error gpg: failed to create temporary file `backup1/.#lk0x811a5c8.pubuntu.3675': Permission denied gpg: keyblock resource `backup1/pubring.gpg': general error gpg: failed to create temporary file `backup1/.#lk0x811a5c8.pubuntu.3675': Permission denied gpg: keyblock resource `backup1/pubring.gpg': general error Apparently I dont have the permissions right on the directory. Now with 644 I cannot access the directory. For the ring files in the directory and the directory itself, what is gpg looking for in permissions? Should I ask this in my LUG?
