Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
When configured for ssl connections or OTR communication, pidgin
incorrectly sets the key files to be world and group readable (other
files in .purple are appropriately permissioned). pidgin sensibly fails
to save information in these incorrectly permissioned files at startup,
but does not maintain persistant keys between sessions, as the previous
data is untrusted on application restart. The user is presented with
warning dialogs, and must close them unless the permissions are manually
adjusted.
** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Visibility changed to: Public
