Just tried to d/l a key and was greeted with
[hol...@localhost]~$ sudo gpg --recv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu
A373FB480EC4FE05
[sudo] password for holtzm:
gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file
`/home/holtzm/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
gpg: external program calls are disabled due to unsafe options file
permissions
gpg: keyserver communications error: general error
gpg: keyserver receive failed: general error
I have downloaded keys from this server before with no problems. The
ownership on the file in question is
-rw------- 1 holtzm holtzm 9419 2008-10-04 21:58 ./.gnupg/gpg.conf
If this is not correct what should I use? Tried making it root and got
gpg: WARNING: unsafe enclosing directory ownership on configuration file
`/home/holtzm/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
gpg: external program calls are disabled due to unsafe options file
permissions
gpg: keyserver communications error: general error
gpg: keyserver receive failed: general error
Does "enclosing directory" refer to /home/holtzm? What ownership and
permissions should be used?
Again, I recently downloaded a key from this server with no problem.
I'm at a loss.
Thanks
