RE: [PLUG] GPG question/problem

["George Gallen" <ggallen@slackinc.com>]

I thought about sudo running the script as myself, which should
probably work. I just hoped there was a workaround with the switches.

I tried --keyring and --homedir, but I still get the permissions error.
So...I guess I'll give sudo a try next.

Thanks
George

Looks like you might try things like --keyring or setting --homedir. 
Permissions on your keyring may need to be modified, and I don't know
how pedantic gpg is about that.  One option might be to setup
a user for this purpose and permit execution of a very specific command
using sudo.  If done correctly this seems like it could guard the keys
yet give enough access to get what you're looking for.

Thoughts folks?
