Hi,
If you'd like to show me how I can use the gmail web interface to respond inline and select what to quote, do go ahead. I really don't like to be called names, especially when there is no basis for it. Sorry, but I did miss the stuff from David. But, all files in that directory are -rw-r--r-- 1 root root and all files are GPG key files. And: stat /tmp File: /tmp Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory Device: 10302h/66306d Inode: 5373953 Links: 14 Access: (1777/drwxrwxrwt) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2017-05-24 20:21:01.468603835 +1000 Modify: 2017-05-29 17:45:53.533125958 +1000 Change: 2017-05-29 17:45:53.533125958 +1000 Birth: - So, it doesn't look like the issue?
