Depending on the type of + the file system, it is sometimes not possible to use the GnuPG home + directory (i.e. ~/.gnupg) as the location for the sockets. To solve + this problem GnuPG prefers the use of a per-user directory below the + the /run (or /var/run) hierarchy for the the sockets. It is thus + suggested to create per-user directories on system or session + startup. For example the following snippet can be used in + /etc/rc.local to create these directories: + + [ ! -d /run/user ] && mkdir /run/user + awk -F: </etc/passwd '$3 >= 1000 && $3 < 65000 {print $3}' \ + | ( while read uid rest; do + if [ ! -d "/run/user/$uid" ]; then + mkdir /run/user/$uid + chown $uid /run/user/$uid + chmod 700 /run/user/$uid + fi + done ) + * DOCUMENTATION |
