hello, this is from man gpg and gpg is not installed setuid root. greetings Andreas Mutschlechner BUGS On many systems this program should be installed as setuid(root). This is necessary to lock memory pages. Locking memory pages prevents the operating system from writing memory pages to disk. If you get no warning mes- sage about insecure memory your operating system supports locking without being root. The program drops root privi- leges as soon as locked memory is allocated.
