Moving gpg folder with GNUPGHOME #4

Closed dh-nunes closed 6 years ago

dh-nunes commented 6 years ago

Newbie to gpg here, sorry if it's obvious.

I moved the gpg folder to ~/.config/gnupg with GNUPGHOME in ~/.bash_profile. pam-gnupg was working previously, followed all your instructions in the readme.

Now gpg is no longer unlocked at login and a ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d empty folder is created. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Setting the environment variable in .bash_profile is probably too late; the pam stack runs before bash is initialized. You might try setting it through pam_env(8) by adding

GNUPGHOME DEFAULT=@{HOME}/.config/gnupg

to your ~/.pam_environment (see pam_env.conf(5) for details). Also, make sure that pam_env.so is run before pam_gnupg.so in your pam stack.

Added ~/.pam_environment and /etc/pam.d/system-local-login includes system-login at the top which has session required pam_env.so at the end so I'm guessing it's above pam_gnupg.so.

The empty folder is no longer created but it still requests the passphrase when using pass the first time.

Looks like there are some additional steps needed to actually use the environment that pam_env sets. I just pushed a possible fix. Can you test?

It works now, thank you very much!
