GnuPG help.

I'm trying to decrypt a file that was encrypted with my puclic key.

the command I'm using is
gpg -d /data/home/webpmt/html/orcc.pgp

This is the error
gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
gpg: please see

http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html

for more information
gpg: Warning: unsafe permissions on file "/var/

http://www/.gnupg/pubring.gpg"

gpg: decrypt_message failed: unexpected data


Anyone have any ideas.

The warning about insecure memory is not related to the problem, if you set it the executable to be suid root that will go away.

The "unexpected data" probably means the attachment got mangled and is corrupted.

ok,

Problem fixed. Stupid error I had the wrong file.

how do I set the executable to be suid root?

chown root.root /path/to/gpg
chmod u+s /path/to/gpg
