I have researched this error message and have found the suggestions do not work. Does anyone know how to have this warning message stop?
I am getting the message: gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on homedir `/home/wsc_gpg/.gnupg' User wsc_gpg owns the gpg installation. The process is running from root as: sudo -u wsc_gpg cat /home/wsc_gpg/.gnupg/cache.txt | gpg --homedir /home/wsc_gpg/.gnupg --batch --yes --no-mdc-warning --skip-verify --passphrase-fd 0 --no-secmem-warning -o $OUTPUTFILE -d $ENCRYPTEDFILE I am running on Red Hat Linux 6.4.6 # gpg --version gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.5 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
