Insecure memory (and SUID)?
I keep getting the insecure memory warning:
% gpg --list-keys
gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory!
gpg: please see [url]http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html[/url] for more information
but I've set it SUID
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 2543216 2004-02-26 01:34 /usr/local/bin/gpg*
% gpg --version

How'd that thing get so big?
billyoc@dps11:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/gpg
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 644716 Jan 20 12:37 /usr/bin/gpg
Are you sure you don't have another binary in the $PATH? I've only
ever seen this message running my local cvs copy.

ah! yes, you are right. Weird, didn't know my distro installed a copy
of this in /usr/bin/gpg (which of course is not SUID root). Thanks.

Maybe try "strip gpg" to remove debugging symbols (unless you want
them to be there).
