Hello, everbody!

Everytime I call gpg (1.07) I get the warning message:
"Warning: using insecure memory!"

The problem is described the FAQs on www.gnupg.org.
The FAQ says it's neccessary that the program is installed
setuid(root). A

# ls -l /usr/local/bin/gpg

reveals owner "root.wheel".

I don't know what exactly is meant with setuid(root)... :(

Please give me a hint!

Martin
