set the SUID bit on the gpg binary. the problem is -- so the gpg docs
go -- that, unless the program is being run as root, it could be swapped
out of memory and then, anyone who can read the swap device might be
able to get your password. now, if you have permissions on your swap
device set so that only root can read/write it (0600), there shouldn't
be any problems, but not everyone has it set this way, so i guess werner
is trying to be extra-special safe.
