This will add the respective /home/user1/.gnupg/ and /home/user2/.gnupg/ and copy the files from the skeleton directory to it. There is also a simple script called addgnupghome which you can use to create new GnuPG home directories for existing users: When the new user is added in system, files from here will be copied to its GnuPG home directory. If you want to setup some default options for new users, put configuration files in /etc/skel/.gnupg/. Other examples are found in #See also.Īdditionally, pacman uses a different set of configuration files for package signature verification. These files are copied to ~/.gnupg the first time gpg is run if they do not exist there. You will find skeleton files in /usr/share/doc/gnupg/. Do not write the two dashes, but simply the name of the option and required arguments. In case this directory or any file inside it does not follow this security measure, you will get warnings about unsafe file and home directory permissions.Īppend to these files any long options you want. This is for security purposes and should not be changed. Only the owner of the directory has permission to read, write, and access the files. The default configuration files are ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf and ~/.gnupg/nf.īy default, the gnupg directory has its permissions set to 700 and the files it contains have their permissions set to 600. Reason: ~/.gnupg/nf is no longer created perhaps because no skeleton file can be found in usr/share/doc/gnupg/ (Discuss in Talk:GnuPG) To change the default location, either run gpg this way $ gpg -homedir path/to/file or set the GNUPGHOME environment variable. By default $GNUPGHOME is not set and your $HOME is used instead thus, you will find a ~/.gnupg directory right after installation. $GNUPGHOME is used by GnuPG to point to the directory where its configuration files are stored. If you want to use a graphical frontend or program that integrates with GnuPG, see List of applications/Security#Encryption, signing, steganography. The shell script /usr/bin/pinentry determines which pinentry dialog is used, in the order described at #pinentry.
