If your shell is bash, then you should use something like: export GNUPGHOME=/something/else Put this in ~/.bash_profile so that it gets set whenever you login. -- ToddOpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~ I am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them. pgp7dzBu5dzEu.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

GNUPGHOME for Linux?
Hi! On Linux I would like to change the homedirectory from ~/.gnupg to /something/else. Defining GNUPGHOME has no effect on my Linux system while it worked on Windows. Does this option not exist in GnuPG for Linux? How to define something similar. Because I want to use gnupg indirectly through other porgrams I can NOT use a parameter such as "--homedir". The only workaround I found was setting HOME to /something/else and use /something/else/.gnupg . But this is ugly. Any ideas? ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
