How is coring prevented on the Hurd? gpg: keyblock resource `/home/robbe/.gnupg': file open error gpg: keyblock resource `/home/robbe/.gnupg': file open error On Linux it creates the directory and puts a "options" file in it. Why doesn't it work here? Apart from that checking signatures on .dsc files works fine. That is obviously secure. Encrypting could leak the session key, though; signing may leak information about your secret key. So don't do that. Decrypting is secure unless the pages containing your passphrase are put onto swap. That's the same level of security that is normal on older Linux machines. -- Robbe
